LGBTQ+ Queer Fiction Book Club - The World Unseen by Shamin Sarif
Waggon and Horses, 1 Surbiton Hill Road, Surbiton, Surrey KT6 4TW, Surbiton, GBCHANGE OF DATE! Due to the World Cup Semi Final, we’ve moved it back a week:
QUEER FICTION BOOK CLUB!
Our next read will be ‘The World Unseen’ by Shamim Sarif
Synopsis:
Winner of the Pendleton May First Novel Award and a Betty Trask Award, The World Unseen is a captivating human drama and love story.
In 1950's South Africa, apartheid is just beginning. Free-spirited Amina has broken all the rules of her own conventional Indian community, and the new apartheid-led government, by running a café with Jacob her "coloured" business partner. When she meets Miriam, a young traditional wife and mother, their unexpected attraction pushes Miriam to question the rules that bind her. When Amina helps Miriam's sister-in-law to hide from the police, a chain of events is set in motion that changes both women forever.

At the end of the meeting we will set the next book, based on ideas and feedback from the group, giving everyone two months to read the book. All the books will be LGBTQ+ themed, by LGBTQ+ writers, or with themes likely to be of interest to LGBTQ+ people and communities.
Please read the book ahead of the meeting and come with a view to share your opinions and views.
