Join The Candid Book Club at Waterstones Piccadilly for an evening with Jessica George, to discuss her debut novel Maame. Wonderfully funny yet packing a definite emotional punch, George's luminous debut about a modern woman desperately trying to break free from the shackles of her Ghanian parents' expectations is perfect reading for fans of Bonnie Garmus and Candice Carty-Williams.

Jessica George was born and raised in London to Ghanaian parents and studied English Literature at the University of Sheffield. After working at a literary agency and a theatre, she landed a job in the editorial department of Bloomsbury UK. Maame is her first novel.

We encourage attendees to read the book beforehand to allow for an open discussion on the night, but copies of the book will also be available to purchase online via the Book & Ticket bundle – to be collected at the event.
