BIB Bookmail: MAAME, PROMISE BOYS & SMALL WORLDS

Back with Big Three of The Week and we are focusing on books written by Black writers. If planning to buy any of these books, do buy from a Black bookshop such as Round Table Books and New Beacon books.

MAAME BY JESSICA GEORGE

'Maame' is a heartfelt novel that will make you laugh, cry and scream (all at once!). A relatable story about growing up, caring for a loved one, grief, romance, work, and family. A beautifully written story that brings the character of Maame to life, and captures her closeness to Ghanaian culture so well.

MAAME is available to buy in selected stores and online.

PROMISE BOYS BY NICK BROOKS

Promise Boys is a high-stake YA mystery thriller that follows three boys at a Washington DC charter school who are forced to investigate their principal’s murder in a twenty-four-hour period. An exquisitely taut mystery combined with social commentary about the way American society too often fails boys of color. The mystery thriller 'Promise Boys' is a great read for the whole family!

Promise Boys is available to buy in selected stores and online.

SMALL WORLDS BY CALEB AZUMAH NELSON

The highly anticipated new novel by Caleb Azumah Nelson is set in London and Ghana across three summers about the worlds we build for ourselves to live, dance and love within.

It releases on 11.05.23 in select stores and online.
