The Booker Prize-winning novelist, Bernardine Evaristo, has never been one for boundaries; rules about genre, grammar or what a working-class biracial woman can achieve are all to be challenged and swept away.
On Wednesday, Evaristo was awarded the prestigious £100,000 Women’s Prize Outstanding Contribution Award, recognising her “transformative impact on literature and her unwavering dedication to uplifting under-represented voices”.
