Location TBA. Zoom link is listed in description. **A rich, magical new book on belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker shortlisted author of *10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World*.** Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species, but really, he’s searching for lost love. Years later a Ficus carica grows in the back garden of a house in London where Ada Kazantzakis lives. This tree is her only connection to an island she has never visited -- her only connection to her family’s troubled history and her complex identity as she seeks to untangle years of secrets to find her place in the world. THIS MEETING WILL BE CANCELED IF I GET FEWER THAN 3 ATTENDEES (MYSELF INCLUDED) 24 HOURS AHEAD OF MEETING, so please make sure you RSVP and commit.

Drawing on Maggie O'Farrell's long-term fascination with the little-known story behind Shakespeare's most enigmatic play, *Hamnet* is a luminous portrait of a marriage, at its heart the loss of a beloved child. Warwickshire in the 1580s. Agnes is a woman as feared as she is sought after for her unusual gifts. She settles with her husband in Henley street, Stratford, and has three children: a daughter, Susanna, and then twins, Hamnet and Judith. The boy, Hamnet, dies in 1596, aged eleven. Four years or so later, the husband writes a play called Hamlet. Award-winning author Maggie O'Farrell's new novel breathes full-blooded life into the story of a loss usually consigned to literary footnotes, and provides an unforgettable vindication of Agnes, a woman intriguingly absent from history. THIS MEETING WILL BE CANCELED IF I GET FEWER THAN 3 ATTENDEES (MYSELF INCLUDED) 24 HOURS AHEAD OF MEETING, so please make sure you RSVP and commit.

Wizards of Ecom, **Youtube Livestream Link:** **[https://youtube.com/live/GYXjvBmCOhY](https://youtube.com/live/GYXjvBmCOhY)** Focus on High-Value Strategy: A VA handles the "24-hour grind" (customer service, case logs, and inventory monitoring), freeing you up to focus on product R&D and brand expansion. Specialized Expertise: Many VAs in 2026 are specialists, not generalists—hiring one specifically for PPC management or A+ Content design often yields a higher ROI than trying to learn those complex skills yourself. Cost-Effective Scalability: You can scale your workforce up during peak seasons (like Prime Day) and down during lulls without the overhead of full-time employee benefits or office space. **Instagram Handle** @wizardsofecom **Youtube Channel** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8itN-dnqJ1AbANGCe1qIA **Linkedin** [www.linkedin.com/in/wizardsofecom](https://app.process.st/www.linkedin.com/in/wizardsofecom) **ALL meetups are always 100% FREE** If you want to access the recording of this event and all previous events you can do so at [academy.wizardsofecom.com](https://academy.wizardsofecom.com/) #### This Meetup event is sponsored by [#SellersFi](https://sellersfi.com/?aff=bluebird) [#PickFu](https://www.pickfu.com/wizardsofamazon) [#RimorCorp](http://www.rimorcorp.com/) [#Rivly](https://rivly.com/) [#AVASK](https://www.avaskgroup.com/) [#EcommerceChris](https://www.ecommercechris.com/) [#ConnectedCommerceCouncil](https://connectedcouncil.org/join) [#Tracefuse ](https://tracefuse.ai/wizards-of-ecom/) [#SellerSnap](https://referrals.sellersnap.io/l/WizardsEcom/) [ ](https://junglescout.com/)[#Alibaba. ](https://www.alibaba.com/?spm=a27aq.cp_15.scGlobalHomeHeader.4.7f804e30A4rcHw&tracelog=mkt_woe).

This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard
