📕 September's Book 📕
“Rainbow Milk” by Paul Mendez.
At the turn of the millennium, Jesse seeks a fresh start in London – escaping from a broken immediate family, a repressive religious community and the desolate, disempowered Black Country – but finds himself at a loss for a new centre of gravity, and turns to sex work to create new notions of love, fatherhood and spirituality. Rainbow Milk is a bold exploration of race, class, sexuality, freedom and religion across generations, time and cultures.
How it works:
Once you sign up, we ask you to get yourself a copy of this month's book, and to have as much of a read through it as you can ahead of the group meeting.
We have 12 copies of the book to give away - if you would like one, please let us know, and you can collect it from our office in Bethnal Green ahead of the group meeting, or we can post it to you. Our limited budget means we won't be able to give a free copy to everyone, so please let us know if you're happy to purchase your own copy.
Come as you are and join us for an enriching literary experience filled with warmth, inclusivity, and celebration of queer narratives. Reserve your free ticket now! 🌈🎬
