Bernardine Evaristo Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Bernardine Evaristo

1/ Girl, Woman, Other is unsuitable reading material for 17-18 year olds, apparently, and is on a list of books to be banned in South Dakota 'all of which are by or about people of color and/or queer people'. Funny that. See Guardian article in 2/ https://bookriot.com/rapid-city-area-schools-censorship/

What a night announcing Piranesi by Susanna Clarke the @WomensPrize winner 2021 & then partying in the open air for hours as we all caught up after a pandemic kept us apart. Pls read the other fantastic shortlisted books. Now to catch up on my TBR pile. Still buzzin, can't sleep https://t.co/coOCDfN8ji https://t.co/OpyrztAl8g

Little has created a lively, believable and likeable female protagonist whose relatability lies both in her strength and vulnerability. I imagine many young people have been waiting for just this novel to speak to them and about them. It is a generational first.

'Invisible to Invaluable: Unleashing the Power of Midlife Women' by Jane Evans & Carole Russell @Voices4Real is so conversational it felt like I was sitting in a room with them as they chatted. #reasonstoread- it's personal & intersectional while challenging society & ourselves. https://t.co/lksPbdZFZd

This is such an exquisitely-written and profound novel by one of our most supremely gifted writers. He sets the standard in the sky and it's going on my TBR again list.
