Bernardine Evaristo, Penguin Audio, £25.99
Evaristo made literary and world history in 2019 when she became the first black woman to win the coveted Booker Prize for Girl, Woman, Other.
This powerful memoir/manifesto is a celebration of never giving up, no matter what life throws at you and contains the wisdom she garnered over three decades as a writer, teacher and activist.
Pulsating with the indomitable spirit that led to the triumph she so rightly deserved, it’s an important lesson in self-belief.
