About The Event
This month, we’re reading Dominion by Addie E. Citchens, a scorching drama full of secrets and sin, and shortlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Fiction.
Calling all keen readers! Step into the rich and vivid worlds of fiction by women, about women, in this engaging book club. Each six weeks, we’ll journey through stories that illuminate the lives, struggles, and triumphs of women across different eras and cultures. This is a book club for those who love reading, as well as exploring the (often) unsung heroes of past and present.
About Dominion:
“In the town of Dominion, Mississippi, Reverend Sabre Winfrey is more than a preacher. From his pulpit at the Seven Seals Baptist Church to the airwaves of his local radio station, he exerts influence over every aspect of society. By his side is his wife Priscilla, who types up his sermons and raises their five sons, favouring the youngest, Wonderboy.
Handsome and adored, Wonderboy is destined to carry on his father’s legacy. But, after a violent altercation with a stranger, Wonderboy’s actions send shockwaves through the community. Told through the perspectives of the women who love these two men, this Morrisonian, God-troubled novel illuminates the pervasive sins of the patriarchy, and the bargains women strike to survive them.
A vivid and unforgettable story that exalts the beauty and strength of Black womanhood, Dominion is the incandescent debut from one of America’s most exciting new writers.”
