OTHER FRUIT - Bloom (ONLINE ONLY)

Please note - ONLINE only (via Zoom)

The Other Fruit Bookclub centres LGBTQ+ books, authors and readers and is hosted by Grey (they/them) - for January we are reading Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson

All are welcome to attend and take part in our discussions, however we ask that if you do not identify at LGBTQ+ you approach the book club as an opportunity for listening and support and give precedence to others in discussion.

We read and discuss one book each month - although there is a core group of regulars, new faces join each discussion and some people dip in and out depending on whether the book grabs their attention.

The Book:

A sweet sapphic romance takes a deadly dark turn in this sharp-as-a-knife novella with the slow build menace of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber-from a New York Times-bestselling author hailed by Chuck Wendig as "a storyteller working at the top of her class."Rosemary meets Ash at the farmers' market. Ash-precise, pretty, and practically perfect-sells bars of soap in delicate pastel colors, sprinkle-spackled cupcakes stacked on scalloped stands, beeswax candles, jelly jars of honey, and glossy green plants. Ro has never felt this way about another woman; with Ash, she wants to be her and have her in equal measure.

But as her obsession with Ash consumes her, she may find she's not the one doing the devouring... Told in lush, delectable prose, this is a deliciously dark tale of passion taking an unsavory turn...
