Fish Island Book Supper Club - February
Get ready for an entertaining evening at the Fish Island Book Supper Club Febuary edition. Join us in UNLOCK to discuss Monique Roffey's Passiontide, the follow-up to her Costa-winning The Mermaid of Black Conch.
At the close of carnival on the fictional Caribbean island of St. Colibri, a young female steel pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. Her murder becomes a catalyst — drawing together four women who have never seen each other as allies: a friend of the victim, a sex workers' collective organiser, a local activist, and the prime minister's wife. What follows is part crime novel, part protest, part love letter to Caribbean women — and a fierce imagining of what it might look like when women say enough.
Roffey writes with heat and humour, anger and tenderness. It's a book that is guaranteed to spark conversation!
Your ticket includes:
A copy of the book Passiontide by Monique Roffey
A pizza of your choice from the Classic Pizza menu
