Where can I find you in the cafe?

We sit at the back on one of the large tables close to the bathroom!

What if I haven't finish the book?

No problem at all. As long as you don't mind potential spoilers, you're more than welcome to join us.

Do I have to buy something in the cafe?

No, you are not obliged to make a purchase in the cafe.

What if I read the book a long time ago?

No problem! If you want to come to take part in the discussion and jog your memory of the book, you are more than welcome!

What if I didn't like the book?

That's ok! There's no pressure or expectation for everyone to enjoy the book. No one is going to be offended. In fact, we have some of the most interesting discussions about books we didn't like!

How noisy is the venue?

The cafe is generally quite quiet, especially at that time of day. We are rarely disturbed and can hear each other well without lots of background noise.

“Annie Ano Fernando doesn’t care much for men”. And so begins a novel exploring trauma, displacement, queerness over three generations and three continents of the Sri Lankan diaspora.

1951, Singapore. Ten-year-old Josephina kills her abuser. This event becomes the defining moment in the lives of Josephina, her daughter Sithara, and her granddaughter Annie. The effects cascade through generations as Annie sets out across the world to discover what happened to fracture her family. Set in Sri Lanka, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and London, Amma is a novel about how the past lives with us forever, and wherever we are.Written in sensuous, vivid prose, Amma is a story of the rich history and unknown future of the Sri Lankan diaspora - and of one family desperately trying to find peace.
