The novel by the famous British writer Bernardine Evaristo is a collection of 12 stories of different women, mostly black English women. Not connected by a common plot, these stories, like the life paths of the heroines, are subtly and intricately intertwined. A director and a teacher, a banker and a cleaner, a farmer and a non-binary person from the world of social media — they all strive for their own and hope to find answers to the questions of who they are and where they are from, what they are worth and where to go next.
