Feminist Book Club: October 2025

For our virtual 📚💖Feminist Book Club💖📚 this month, author of Village Weavers, Myriam J. A. Chancy will join us on Zoom to get in on our discussion and answer your burning questions!

The book takes place in 1940s’ Port-au-Prince, where Gertie and Sisi become fast childhood friends, despite being on opposite ends of the social and economic ladder. As young girls, they build their unlikely friendship—until a deathbed revelation ripples through their families and tears them apart.

In her review for the Chicago Review of Books, Ariana Valderrama wrote, “This book reminded me why historical fiction, when done well, is my favorite genre….Chancy writes movingly about the importance of friendship and community and the constantly reverberating impacts of colonialism. I appreciated the elegant and evocative writing while also being swept away in an incredible story.”

Village Weavers is the Winner of the 2025 OCM Bocas Award in Caribbean Literature, a TIME and Ms. Magazine Best Book of April, a CBC best Canadian fiction of 2024, and a Chicago Review of Books 2024 Best Book.
