Welcome to our September book club kit: ***I Who Have Never Known Men* by Jacqueline Harpman**. Available on Amazon and all good bookstores from £4.99, this haunting and heartbreaking novel delves into humanity set in a deserted world. At just 188 pages, it is a compact yet powerful read during this summer! “Don’t judge by its cover, it stimulates intelligence and triggers more than what you thought.”

**Synopsis:**
Deep underground, thirty-nine women are confined in a cage, watched over by silent guards. They have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only vague recollections of their past lives. Above ground, an unknown world awaits - abandoned, devastated by a virus, or something else entirely.

Amidst the burn of electric light that blurs day into night, a young girl sits alone, outcast. She holds the key to the others’ escape and survival in the strange world above. This young woman, who has never known men, must navigate the terrifying but also exciting unknowns.

The Owl and Monkey Cocktail Bar

Welcome to our Oct book club kit: ***Yellowface* by R.F. Kuang.** This satirical literary thriller takes you on a provocative journey through the mysteries of human nature under today’s what is labelled as political correctness.

**Synopsis**
June, a talented yet unrecognised writer, finds herself overshadowed by her friend Athena, a literary sensation. According to June, Athena has it all - money, fame, one bestselling novel after another - not because Athena is a much better writer than her, but because Athena is a beauty in the public eye and fits into the politically correct landscape, while June herself is just a “brown-haired, brown-eyed white woman from Philly.”

But then a freak accident happened, June seems to find a light at the end of the tunnel. But, is it? With its immersive first-person narrative and razor-sharp critique, this book explores the complexities of ambition, identity, and success with a sheen of racial politics and cultural diversity.
