The March edition of the book club featured the wonderful author, journalist and podcast host, Georgina Lawton with her first book ‘Raceless‘. It’s a stunning family memoir exploring race, identity and the effect of long-held secrets on a happy family.
Book Club host, and award-winning journalist Madlen Davies was in conversation with Georgina on Wednesday 10th March at 6.30pm (GMT) looking at some of the big questions that the book raises – what do you do when your heritage or parentage has been obscured in a complex web of deceit? How can you discuss race with your family, when you each see the world differently?
We were thrilled to start 2021’s book club season with yet another fantastic author. For our February edition we turned to non-fiction once again, this time investigating the topic of resilience (something we’ve all needed a lot of recently).
In 9 Secrets to Thriving, Emma tells the deeply moving stories of the Thrivers. She shares their profound insights in a practical and accessible way, with practical strategies and stories, ready to be applied in order to lead a more fulfilling and joyful life.
Award-winning journalist, Madlen Davies was in conversation with Emma on Wednesday 3rd February at 6.30pm (GMT). Grab a copy of her audiobook exclusively from Audible.
