Amma's play The Last Amazons of Dahomey is being performed at the The National Theatre, marking a grand achievement for her career in the arts and herein we have the foundation upon which the rest of the story is based.

Girl, Woman, Other is bold, out-spoken and subversive. It tells the stories of twelve different individuals, mostly Black British females whose lives all converge in some way.

This book portrays London through a completely unfiltered lens that is conscious of the vibrant diversity of its inhabitants, ranging in sexual and gender representation. It has a subversive writing style that took some time for me to become fully comfortable with but felt very purposeful, almost as though the lack of syntax was a metaphor for not fitting into the status quo. I felt like the story began to drag on a bit as we got into the second part, but it still felt deeply meaningful and intuitive.
