'Girl Woman Other', a booker winner by Bernardine Evaristo. It felt half-baked, pretentious, & creepy in parts. There is no character or plot development. At that time I was also reading 'The Sympathizer' by Viet Ngueyen, and it's prose was lyrical with a nice heft to it. Compared to this, the prose of 'Girl Woman, Other', felt basic & it lacked depth, just like the whole book.
