It started with Fleur Sinclair collecting us in her Morris Minor & ended with her impassioned plea - inspired by reading Percival Everett’s #JAMES - for the audience to join her in trying to change the world for the better. We all stood & applauded 🧡🥹🥹🧡. TY Sevenoaks Bookshop 🧡

I can't wait to chat with Fleur about all things Sweetness in the Skin: what does family really mean? Will people love you if they know who you really are? What does it mean to 'belong'?... And what are the recipes for all that Jamaican food?!

“Reading is the most subversive act.” Percival Everett at Sevenoaks Bookshop. Such a fantastic event - funny and thought-provoking in equal measure.

It's first outing will be tonight at our sold out event with Percival Everett - what a debut!!
