While drawing the connections, the reader pays attention to the literary inclusive experimental project of introducing new perspectives regarding human bonds, especially among women as the title of the novel implies. For this reason, this research turns into a mapping that aims to track down the distinct paths characters cross over time and space. While doing so tries to make sense of the characters stories and how they are interrelated, it interestingly overlooks barriers separating them in real life and builds bridges between them for the purpose to highlight their humanity and emphasize the idea of inclusivity; a space for everyone. To undertake this study, mapping, a novel concept introduced by Robert Tally Jr., is relevant for approaching the book as it genuinely offers a way of reading the world and more importantly helps to search for possible worlds. To assist mapping the characters stories, this study relies on other concepts which are Mikhail Bakhtin's polyphony, Edward Soja's Third Space, and intertextuality. Eventually, this research discloses the role that this novel transcends issues related to gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and geography in order to contribute to the larger conversation on humanity and inclusion.enHumanity; Intertextuality; Polyphony; Bernardine EvaristoOther
