Come along to the King St Book Club and join us for an evening of lively and in-depth discussion guided by Avid Reader Book Clubs host, Jennifer Stephens.
This month we'll read and discuss Mother, Ghost, Mango Seed by Natalie Gregory. Set in Thailand from 1976 to the present, Mother, Ghost, Mango Seed is a haunting yet hopeful exploration of grief, motherhood, and cultural identity.
A single thread can unravel a web of secrets …
Lin returns from England to Bangkok to care for her dying mother. In the city, pro-democracy protestors clash with the military government and ambitious new king. And among all this, Lin’s mother dies.
Numbed at the wake and feeling like a stranger in her home country, Lin tries to cook her mother’s favourite dish, but her mother’s recipes are all missing, and in their place is an old political leaflet which everyone refuses to translate. Lonely and intrigued, Lin sets off with her baby to the Thai countryside in search of answers.
As she discovers herself and her culture, Lin quickly finds that tugging at a single thread can unravel a web of secrets held for decades, driving away loved ones, breaking cultural taboos, and uncovering dreadful truths behind a devastating political past.
This month we'll meet at 3Bros Korean King St and enjoy delicious food over our discussion of Mother, Ghost, Mango Seed.
Current Book Club members will collect their book at our October meeting at Xin Chào and new members will be able to elect to collect their book from Avid…
