Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Manchester?
Hi I'm Hannah, I have recently moved to Manchester from London and wanted to find a circle of friends here! I was a member of the GBC in London and found that I was reading books I enjoyed that I never would have picked myself. What better way to spend an evening than chatting about a good book over a glass of wine! I look forward to meeting you soon.
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.
