Summary

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4TUECpHFW6uXX9WTSMH73n?si=9194d7e4555d4767 Shameless book nerds! How are ya!? Us? We are absolutely thrilled to bring you our very first Shameless Book Club chat of many, with a book we so adored. This month, we’re talking all about ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ by Bernardine Evaristo. As the joint winner of the 2019 Booker Prize, this book is a love song to Black womanhood in Britain, and follows the lives of twelve disparate characters. Today on the show, Mich, Zara and Annabelle discuss the book’s absence of syntax and punctuation, our favourite characters, and juicy plot twists (we’re looking at you, Winsome). BUY OUR UPCOMING BOOK ON LIFE IN YOUR TWENTIES, THE SPACE BETWEEN, HERE. BUY OUR JULY PICK - RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE VIA OUR AFFILIATE LINK HERE. If you’d like to share your thoughts on our July pick, ‘Red, White, & Royal Blue’, record a voice message and send it to hotline@shamelessmediaco.com (that's *CO*.com).
