Six Ounces
Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Ōtautahi Christchurch?
The concept is simple. We’re a global book club for likeminded women to discuss great books! All members of the book club read the same book over the same period; members then meet up in their respective cities at the end of each month to discuss the book and exchange views.
Grab your seat!What we are reading...
About the book
Someday, Maybe by Onyi Nwabineli
A stunning and witty debut novel about a young woman’s emotional journey through unimaginable loss, pulled along by her tight-knit Nigerian family, a posse of new friends, and the love and laughter she shared with her husband. Onyi Nwabineli is a fresh new voice for fans of Yaa Gyasi, Queenie and I May Destroy You.
Here are three things you should know about my husband:
1. He was the great love of my life despite his penchant for going incommunicado.
2. He was, as far as I and everyone else could tell, perfectly happy. Which is significant because…
3. On New Year’s Eve, he committed suicide.
And here is one thing you should know about me:
1. I found him.
Bonus fact: No. I am not okay.

Before I join, I need to know when and where meetings are held, as I use a wheel chair
I don’t know where the May event will be but once I do I’ll reach out and let you know.
Hi, I’m also interested to attend this, and would like the details of when and where it meets
Do many attend the Chch group session and what age range is it usually?
Hi Hannah, so far there are 6 people signed up for the January meeting. The age range typically ranges around 25-45 years old.
I would be interested to know the same as Hannah! I’m new in town and looking for a group to join so would be great to know a bit more. Thanks!
Thanks so much. Not sure I’ll make the January one but will start in Feb 🙂
Hi All, are there any other groups meeting on a Thursday or Friday evening? If so, I’d love to join. Thanks!
