Don'tRushMe Readers: The Human Origins of Beatrice Porter and Other Ghosts | Pelican House
Apr 30, 2025 (UTC+0)ENDED
Heath
Don'tRushMeReaders is pleased to present our first ever book club!!! We're a Black Queer book club based in London, focused on providing a safe space for Black Queer people to read and discuss books. For our first book club, we will be discussing The Human Origins of Beatrice Porter and Other Ghosts by Soraya Palmer. Synoposis below: A dazzling debut novel weaving together Caribbean myth and the contemporary story of multiple generations of one immigrant family. Zora and Sasha Porter don't know much of their Jamaican father Nigel's and Trinidadian mother Beatrice's pasts. What they do know: the mythic stories of Nigel's flight to America on the string of a purple balloon, the violent histories in Beatrice's book of Anansi Stories, that Nigel had a brother, once, and that Beatrice has a tangle of silvery scars on her back. With their parents' marriage falling apart, the pair navigate their own relationships and secrets - Zora has impure thoughts about a jock, and Sasha drinks cheap beer with a girl who binds her chest. A celebration of the power of stories, this startling debut presents a tale of slippery contradictions and an examination of the limits of resilience.
