In conversation with Mel Pennant

Tuesday evening, 13 October - 7:00 - 8:30pm (6:30 for tea & cake)

Jamaica Road is a transformative love story about two best friends from a tight-knit British-Jamaican community - two best friends who fall for each other, fall apart, and try to find their way back together in their tight-knit British-Jamaican community.

Daphne is the only Black girl in her South London class in 1981. Her quiet life changes when Connie arrives from Jamaica. As their bond deepens against a city’s unrest, family tensions and a perilous secret force them to navigate love, loyalty, and belonging over a turbulent decade.

Lisa Smith is a prizewinning writer from South London.

She will be joined in conversation by Mel Pennant, author of A Murder for Miss Hortense
