Our Book Club book this month is the lucid and harrowing 'Three-Fifths' by Jonn Vercher. Named one of the Best Books of The Year by The Guardian, 'Three-Fifths' is about a biracial black man, passing for white, who is forced to confront the lies of his past while facing the truth of his present when his best friend, just released from prison, involves him in a hate crime.

We are thrilled to announce that the author John Vercher will be joining us on the Zoom call this month to answer a Q&A on the book so make sure you have any questions at the ready.

If you want to support your local bookshop to purchase your copy, we can recommend Dulwich Books, Clapham Books and Forest Hill Books to name a few. For online sales why not try uk.bookshop.org where you get to allocate the sale to a bookshop of your choice.
