The Black Writers' Book Club (BWBC) focuses on books written by Black British writers.
Books are a powerful way to discover the world around us and make changes. BWBC promotes literacy, visibility and the joy of reading Black authors.
We make our choices thoughtfully and look for ways to deepen our connection to books, writers, and ourselves.
We meet on the last Wednesday of the month and welcome readers from African, Caribbean and other Black British backgrounds, as well as readers of other ethnicities who are interested in Black British writing.

Okonkwo is the greatest warrior alive. His fame has spread like a bushfire in West Africa and he is one of the most powerful men of his clan. But he also has a fiery temper. Determined not to be like his father, he refuses to show weakness to anyone - even if the only way he can master his feelings is with his fists. When outsiders threaten the traditions of his clan, Okonkwo takes violent action. Will the great man's dangerous pride eventually destroy him?
