Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo
Co-winner of the Booker Prize in 2019, this author's eighth book is a novel consisting of interlocking stories written in a freeform style.
"Girl, Woman, Other" is described as a polyphonic novel about the intersections of identity. It's told from the point of view of 12 British women of color who range in age from 19 to 93. The women represent a diversity of classes, cultures and sexual identities.

Evaristo has a gift for appraising the lives of her characters with sympathy and grace while gently skewering some of their pretensions. When you are feeling your way into new ways of living, she understands, there must be room for error.
—New York Times
