"각 장에는 백오십여 년의 시공간을 넘나들며 엄마와 딸, 혹은 친구, 또는 동료라는 이름으로 이어진 열두 여성의 삶이 담겼다. 그 삶이 어떤 '색깔'을 지니고 있든, 인간이라는 존재 전체를 바라보며 삶을 말하는 작가의 시선은 냉철하면서도 따뜻하다. 무엇보다 개인의 비극을 거듭 조망하면서도 희망에 차 있고, 감동과 유머까지 환상의 비율로 배합하는 마술적 스토리텔링은 진한 카타르시스를 선사하기에 부족함이 없다."

"Girl, Woman, Other is a celebration of the diversity of Black British experience. Moving, hopeful, and inventive, this extraordinary novel is a vivid portrait of the state of contemporary Britain and the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa andthe Caribbean. The twelve central characters of this multi-voiced novel lead vastly different lives: Amma is a newly acclaimed playwright whose work often explores her black lesbian identity; her old friend Shirley is a teacher, jaded after decades of work in London's funding-deprived schools; Carole, one of Shirley's former students, works hard to earn a degree from Oxford and becomes an investment banker; Carole's mother Bummi works as a cleaner and worries about her daughter's lack of rootedness despite her obvious achievements. From a nonbinary social media influencer to a 93-year-old woman living on a farm in Northern England, these unforgettable characters also intersect in shared aspects of their identities, from age to race to sexuality to class.Sparklingly witty and filled with emotion, centering voices we often see othered, and written in an innovative and fast-moving form that borrows from poetry, Girl, Woman, Other is a polyphonic and richly textured social novel that reminds us of everything that connects us to our neighbors, even in times when we are encouraged to be split apart."--Publisher.
