We are looking forward to welcoming writer, screenwriter and book influencer, Shani Akilah to the shop on Tuesday 25th June at 7pm as she discusses her sharply relatable, deeply tender collection of short stories about the hopes and heatbreaks of a group of young Black-British friends in London. Join Shani as we celebrate her funny and thought-provoking debut collection, For Such a Time as This.Gabby and Jonathan cross paths at a wedding. They both wonder if this could be the start of something, but fate has other ideas. When Niah tries to call out her employer for their empty words about diversity and inclusion, she comes face to face with racism reaching right to the very top. Sharna is holding onto her own secret when she sets out for Jamaica to visit her grandfather, on a trip that throws fresh light onto the family history she has always taken for granted. Shani Akilah's stunning collection brings to life the stories of Black-British Londoners as they explore friendship and romance, community and independence, and navigate their way through the relationships that make them who they are.
