Changes with Annie Macmanus About this episode
<p>In this wonderfully compelling conversation, The Booker Prize winning author opens up to Annie about her childhood, going to the Youth Theatre, losing herself in a toxic relationship with another woman and her hopes for the future of society. </p><br><p>As the first black woman to win the Booker Prize, Bernardine Evaristo is, rightly so, unashamedly basking in the huge success of her ninth novel ‘Girl, Woman, Other’. In this episode, Bernardine takes Annie through her journey with writing and speaks about enjoying mainstream recognition much later in life, believing in herself and the sacrifices she has made. She describes herself as “unstoppable” - something which may not have happened had she not experienced the changes she has in her life. </p><br><p>You can buy the book and find out more about Bernardine’s work here: <a href="https://bevaristo.com/girl-woman-other/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bevaristo.com/girl-woman-other/</a></p><p>You can follow Bernardine on twitter: @BernardineEvari and instagram: @bernardineevaristowriter</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
