Love. Grief. Desire. Healing. This month, we gather around a story that asks what it truly means to begin again. 📖 You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi See you at Tubaze Book Club 🤍 #TubazeBookClub #BookClubReads #awt #BookCommunity #Fiction

She carries love in tired hands, strength in silent sacrifices, and warmth in every word she speaks. 🌸 To the mothers who hold families together with grace and courage , we celebrate you today and always. 💖 Happy Mother’s Day. #HappyMothersDay #TubazeAfricanBooks

@annagraceawilli Exactly. Online we speak in absolutes,but in real life-like promises-things are much more complicated

Have you seen it being said in a meme somewhere that it is only on social media where cheating is not forgiven? But that in "normal life" people forgive each other all the time for even the most unthinkable of wrongs? "Promises" by Goretti Kyomuhendo is "normal life."

‘The Fortune Men’ by Nadifa Mohamed (@thesailorsgirl) has received praise for being panoramic in scope and rich in period atmosphere. The Booker Prize shortlisted novel is our April Read at TUBAZE Book Club. DM to join our community of readers. #TubazeBookClub
