- About Black Lady Book Club
We are here for Black women from everywhere. Meetings will take place via Zoom or in person at locations in NJ.
Join us for the Black Lady Book Club, a vibrant community celebrating the literary contributions of Black women and their diverse experiences. Each month, we’ll dive into novels, memoirs, and poetry that highlight our voices and stories. This space is dedicated to meaningful discussions, shared insights, and fostering connections among women who love to read and uplift each other.
About the Book:
Capturing the distinct rhythms of Jamaican life and dialect, Nicole Dennis-Benn pens a tender hymn to a world hidden among pristine beaches and the wide expanse of turquoise seas.
At an opulent resort in Montego Bay, Margot hustles to send her younger sister, Thandi, to school. Taught as a girl to trade her sexuality for survival, Margot is ruthlessly determined to shield Thandi from the same fate. When plans for a new hotel threaten their village, Margot sees not only an opportunity for her own financial independence but also perhaps a chance to admit a shocking secret: her forbidden love for another woman.
As they face the impending destruction of their community, each woman fighting to balance the burdens she shoulders with the freedom she craves must confront long-hidden scars. From a much-heralded new writer, Here Comes the Sun offers a dramatic glimpse into a vibrant, passionate world most outsiders see simply as paradise.
