Important bits:
Date - Wednesday 17 July
Time - 7-9:00pm
Venue - March Hare, 2-4 South Hill, Guildford GU1 3SY
About the book:
An at-once tender and heartbreaking meditation on freedom, motherhood and obligation, Rootless explores the limits of love and friendship through a story of a British-Ghanaian marriage in crisis.
Efe and Sam have been best friends since before they were married. To an outside eye, they have a relationship most can only dream of.
But behind closed doors, Sam wants to start a family, while Efe longs for a life free of responsibility.
When an unplanned pregnancy forces Efe into a stark choice, she has to decide which is more important – her love for her family, or the life she wanted for herself.

The Feminist Book Club House Rules:
We welcome feminists from all walks of life and backgrounds, and this group is open to everyone - we want this to be a fully inclusive space;
You don’t need to be an ‘expert feminist’ (whatever that means) to be involved - we want to read books that everyone can enjoy, and that cater to people’s different experiences and understandings of feminism;
This is primarily a social space, for meeting and getting to know like-minded people - so while feminism can be a heavy topic, we hope to keep this more on the fun side;
This is a judgement free zone - don’t belittle or undermine other members, or those who don’t have the same ideas as you. Don’t shut down other people’s views and be respectful;
If you feel like anyone goes against any of these values, let us know!
Follow us - we are growing!
