2004 Man Booker Prize winner Alan Hollinghurst finds @bernardineevaristowriter Girl Woman Other exhilarating. He says: It's one of those truly important novels which show you your own culture and history in a revelatory new light and at the same time expand your sense of what the novel as a form is capable of - the two achievements being of course inseparable. Bernardine Evaristo combines, effortlessly, it seems, the compelling inventiveness of a great story-teller with the precision and economy of a poet - she has created a whole new form, which sweeps you irresistibly forward. The twelve women's lives she recounts are woven without forcing into a magnificent structure, the whole thing shot through with wit, compassion and almost unnerving insight. It's very funny, and very sexy. It seems to me a book to return to and to learn from - about the country we live in, and about the inexhaustible potential of the novel to give fresh accounts of it.
