August’s Cosy Club
“No Small Thing” - Orlaine MacDonald
“A debut novelist and one who acknowledges her journey in her acknowledgments.
It’s perhaps in its easiest form a story or stories weaving the demonstrative ways of social lives with a somewhat historical context. The novel in part centres around three women’s lives all Londoners by definition but I feel living the Black British experience.
Orlaine MacDonald writes in a way that leaves you feeling a little angry with the society they have allowed themselves to fall into, but also wondering why the characters allowed themselves to be sucked into the same cycle of living with mental health issues, misogyny and paedophilia. Generations all seemingly falling into the same trap. It’s a slow burner and a book that although can be read in a day lacked a flow or rhythm for me. That said there were some
stunningly beautiful sentences that as an author made me stop and reread the sentence, several times. Perseverance is what I would recommend.” J.V. Phaure

If you would like to be a part of the Cosy Club, then simply send a DM to enquire. The spaces do come up but they get snapped up very quickly. Each book is a
surprise. This month’s book which is our First Birthday will be wrapped up on the Cosy Club shelf if you want to buy it and be part of the surprise experience and read alongside us. It will be available next Tuesday as a surprise purchase.
