Evaristo, the first black woman to win the prize, tells the stories of 12 characters, mainly female and black aged 19 to 93, living in Britain in Girl, Woman, Other. Atwood has said a deterioration in women's rights in some parts of the world including in the United States prompted her to write the sequel, described as a"savage and beautiful novel" by the judging panel.
