Histoire
Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young Black woman out late with a White child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right.

Histoire
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

Histoire
At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

Histoire
In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

Histoire
Thirty-four-year-old Nora's life could be better. She's lonely, single and has just lost her job. Her cat dying feels like the last straw. What else is there to live for? Then she finds a library between life and death where she gets to try all the other lives she could have lived. The Midnight Library is a gloriously relatable novel about life, death and the in-between. It is about finding hope, playing chess, dumping regrets and picking the right people around you.

Histoire
Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Histoire
In her new audiobook, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.

Winner of The Booker Prize 2019
Shortlisted for The Women's Prize for Fiction 2020
The Sunday Times best seller
This is Britain as you've never heard it.
This is Britain as it has never been told.
From Newcastle to Cornwall, from the birth of the 20th century to the teens of the 21st, Girl, Woman, Other follows a cast of 12 characters on their personal journeys through this country and the last hundred years. They're each looking for something - a shared past, an unexpected future, a place to call home, somewhere to fit in, a lover, a missed mother, a lost father, even just a touch of hope....
Commentaires
"The actress Anna-Maria Nabirye projects the characters superbly: she has a full, low timbre and a powerful directness." (The Times)
"Masterful...A choral love song to black womanhood in modern Great Britain." (Elle)
"Ambitious, flowing and all-encompassing, an offbeat narrative that'll leave your mind in an invigorated whirl...[It] unites poetry, social history, women's voices and beyond." (Stylist)

'Girl, Woman, Other' Underwhelming
Girl, Woman, Other, is best read first, to see the arrangement of the text on the page, and to understand and appreciate the experimental prose/poetic style - as composed by Bernardine Evaristo. Seeing and reading the book may add the layer of literary depth unseen in the Audio edition. The Audio is devoid of poetic rhythms, and the Reading does not reflect/convey experimental written form. The Audio version exposes formulaic writing patterns and a lack of character development. Read the book first?

Great novel - flaws in narration.
Great characters and story, but let down a bit by the narrator who, although she has a good quality voice, often pauses where she shouldn't, or doesn't pause where she should, with incorrect emphasis. Many words are mispronounced, which indicates that the narrator is not familiar with the word itself. I agree with another reviewer who says the narrator needed someone in the recording sessions to direct her performance, spot the mistakes and fix them. Surely every audiobook performance is supervised by someone other than a sound engineer? I found myself listening out for the next mistake, and the next one, But I still enjoyed the story.

I could follow the Narrator. Unfortunately.
I couldn't follow the narrator, so unfortunately I have missed the content of the book. I did read this in another review, but unfortunately the Narrator needs more practice to articulate what she is reading. She has an appropriate voice and accents for the content, but lacks sufficient skill, which results in a story you just can't follow.

great perspective, bit catalogue of diversity
the narrator was great, clear and easy to listen to. characters were all unique and well written. a very enjoyable read, but it felt at times a bit like a catalogue of diversity... like the author had a list and must have one each of all the current intersectional feminist issues represented, like a collection of dolls. I'm really grateful for the perspectives, but it felt a bit unnatural because it seemed to be trying to be an anthology of everything black and feminist and lgbti+ in one book. Really good story teller. Really good coverage of the issues at s surface level, but I probably would prefer a deeper dive into their stories. I think this could have been a series, and could have been a bit more realistic at the end about how much people really change when challenged.

Nothing happens!
So yeah. I thought this would be an interesting read, and it won The Booker. How could I go wrong, right? With one click of a button it seems. The narrator did well but the author should learn what a story is. The premise is a good one and I liked some of the characters but absolutely nothing happens in this book. It is just about ordinary women and their ordinary struggles. I like a plot, I like a beginning middle and a satisfying end. This had nothing.

Book for the new times and a new world
I would recommend this book to women who want to explore gender identity. It has some good parts and I particularly like the ending and the linking of the stories. Sometimes you don’t know how the stories will link up but I guess that’s the beauty of the book. Sometimes I thought it was very trendy and New Age. But it’s nice to read such a book in some ways to hear how people live and experience life. Very good LGBT Book.

Audio Book inadequate
I need to emphasize my respect and honour to the writer book and the performer of the audio book. However the audio book fails to carry the worth and essence of the vision of the book. The book tells the stories of 12 persons whose voices are less heard in literature. I hoped the stories would be told differently too. I particularly did not like the performers wrong pronunciations of Kwame A. Appiah's name and the Nigerian and carribean accents were not adequate. As the book advocates for voices to be heard, it would have been nice to get 12 persons who could do this and make the book come as alive as possible. I am sorry also is my comment comes accross as harsh but I really think the liberation of voices and also providing the platform for all voices would have helped in projecting the honor of this book.

I loved the storytelling. However I had to start over multiple times because there are so many characters that I couldn't follow each story in the beginning. Listening to it more than an hour at a time I got finally pulled in and enjoyed it a lot.
