Un estil literari trencador a cavall entre la poesia i la prosa que l’autora defineix com “literatura fusió”. Un text escrit al marge de les convencions literàries i les regles habituals de puntuació que, d’altra banda, sorprèn per la seva fluïdesa i facilitat de lectura. Una Gran Bretanya com mai s’ha explicat. De Newcastle a Cornualla, des de principis del segle vint fins les adolescents del vint-i-un, a “Girl, Woman, Other” seguim a un repartiment de dotze personatges en els seus viatges personals per aquest país i els seus últims cent anys de vida. Totes estan embrancades en una recerca: un passat compartit, un futur inesperat, un lloc al que anomenar llar, un lloc on encaixar, una amant, una mare desapareguda, un pare perdut, inclús, pura i simplement, un raig d’esperança.

This is Britain as you've never seen it. This is Britain as it has never been told. From Newcastle to Cornwall, from the birth of the twentieth century to the teens of the twenty-first, Girl Woman Other follows a cast of twelve 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 . . .
