Join us for our September Contemporary Fiction Book Club. We’ll be discussing NO SMALL THING by ORLAINE MCDONALD.
The Book Club will take place at 7pm on Thursday 4th September at Next Chapter Books.
Alone among the lush tangle of plants on his balcony, Earl watches as a broken family reunites in the flat below.
There's Livia, who has been running for long enough to think her past might never catch up with her. Now she's forced to catch her breath and face the daughter she left behind. Then Mickey, angry about having a mother who left, a father who died, about the mess she's made of her own life.
With no other place to go, she needs the mother who abandoned her. And Summer, whose new grandmother is weird, and whose mum is always sad or out looking for men to distract her. Left to roam, she finds friends who are willing to give her the attention that Mickey won't.
But are they as kind as she thinks they are? Burning with hope and desire, No Small Thing evokes the power and pain of mothering, and the damage we can do to the people we should love the most.
The tickets includes a free drink, sweet treats, a WhatsApp group of new book friends and inclusive and positive vibes during the club meeting, plus a copy of the book in paperback to be collected at Next Chapter Books when selected. The book club will take place at Next Chapter Books and run for approximately an hour and 15 minutes.
Your first time attending one of our book clubs? You’ll be most welcome and we can’t wait to meet you!
