SUMMARY:The Book Club - EVENING
DESCRIPTION:This session of The Book Club will take place on Wednesday 29th October 6-7pm. This month\, we are reading Our Sister Killjoy by Ama Ata Aidoo. £9.99 is the price of the book and a ticket to the session. The book can be delivered directly to you (please add your shipping address and tick the box for shipping) or you can collect it in store free of charge. You can buy a book and ticket here. \nIf you already own a copy of the book\, you can purchase a ticket alone for £3. You can purchase a ticket only here. \nFor those unable to afford a book or ticket at present\, we have a limited amount of complementary books/tickets. Please contact the bookshop via bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597365380. \nWe always ask that you be respectful and kind whilst discussing the book and others’ opinions of it. \nAbout the book \nSissie is leaving Ghana for the first time. Arriving in Europe on a scholarship to experience the glories of a Western education\, she plunges into this new continent’s heart of whiteness\, observing the strange customs of the natives. \nDrinking cocktails at the German Embassy\, she cringes at her countrymen.\nIn a Bavarian castle\, she is seduced by the lonely mother of Little Adolf.\nIn freezing London\, she witnesses ‘been-tos’ sharing myths of an overseas idyll.\nIn between continents\, she writes a letter on the plane to her exiled former lover.\nBut it is not sent. She will tell these tales back at home. \nAma Ata Aidoo’s landmark debut Our Sister Killjoy exploded into the world in 1977. With its blistering feminist satire of the West African diaspora\, colonial legacies and toxic racism\, expressed in a radical literary form – prose poetry\, letter\, manifesto – its provocative impact remains unmatched half
