Good Reads Four books that all women should read, selected by UNITY BOOKS.
Difficult Women. ROXANE GAY $30.00 This highly anticipated short story collection gives women centre stage, allowing the space for their varied, colourful lives to play out. As a writer and chronicler of women’s experiences, Roxane Gay has a fierce and often uncompromising vision that has earned her plenty of acclaim – and accusations of being ‘difficult’, of course. 9781472152770
Selected Poems. JENNY BORNHOLDT $40.00 This recently released collection of poems by Wellington’s very own Jenny Bornholdt is a real treasure. Bornholdt writes beautifully and candidly of being a lover, wife, mother, friend, and all the other roles in between. That Wellington often features as a background character makes these poems extra special. 9781776560660
