Join us and our host, Corinne, every other month as we dive into Caribbean literature. Born and raised in Trinidad & Tobago, Corinne will pick books written by authors based in the Caribbean, and across the Caribbean diaspora. This club invites you to experience the rich culture and history of this region through their stories: Ayanna Lloyd Banwo's When We Were Birds!
About When We Were Birds:
A mythic love story set in Trinidad, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo’s radiant debut is a masterwork of lush imagination and exuberant storytelling—a spellbinding and hopeful novel about inheritance, loss, and love’s seismic power to heal.
This book club will be hosted via ZOOM, a video conferencing app for computers and phones. Open to all -- please just rsvp with a ticket for access to the ZOOM meeting. You can also purchase a copy of the book here which will give you:

*** We ask that participants be aware that you will need to download the ZOOM app to join the meeting. Within ZOOM, your camera's audio will pull your video to center-screen so it is advisable to set up in a quiet area. Additionally we ask that participants be courteous and take turns speaking/remain aware of your floor time so that everyone can get the most out of the book club experience.
