For our final Book Club of the year, come and listen to the founder of gal-dem, @livslittle talk about her latest book and how she has shaped a successful writing career.
From starting the groundbreaking platform gal-dem to writing acclaimed books and screenplays, Liv Little has carved out an inimitable career in media. Her 2023 debut Rosewater about a Black queer poet experiencing love and loss in south London was praised as ‘wonderfully fresh, zesty and sexy’ by fellow author Bernadine Evaristo.
Now, you can come and hear her talk about her latest novel Bitter Melon. Set in Jamaica, the book tells the tender, heartwarming story about a father-daughter relationship that strives to move beyond a complicated past and into a newly imagined future.
Join us on 16 November at Soho House Greek Street for an evening of lively conversation about Little’s writing process across novels, film and TV. Plus, enjoy a complimentary glass or two of @moetchandon

Tomorrow, my sophomore novel, Bitter Melon, lands!! I can hardly believe it. It’s the culmination of close to a decade of becoming well acquainted with grief. It first found me in a life altering way at 23, when my stepfather was diagnosed with mesothelioma, and sprouted roots again around 27, when my dad was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Without these deep losses, Bitter Melon wouldn’t exist. Every page is imbued with what I’ve learnt about grief - how it has no edges, how magical and gut wrenchingly painful it can be and how all we’re really ever trying to do is make sense of time. I cried most days whilst writing it. This book is heart and pain and hope and possibility, sad and joyous and vibrant, all at the same time, because that’s what love and grief are. I miss my dad every day - there isn’t a moment when he isn’t with me. This book is for him. It’s for us and that feels like some sort of release. It’s for anyone who has mourned, is mourning, will mourn. I hope it finds its way into your hearts and minds, and that you fall in love with Jalissa and Delroy as much as I did writing them. They are messy and flawed, and both searching for something (themselves) all through the lens of my dad’s beautiful Jamaica (the third picture is his sea at sunrise after scattering his ashes). I’ve poured my whole heart into this book. It’s the thing I’m most proud of creating, and it would mean the world if you spent time in its world. The feedback so far has been beyond what I could have anticipated, which lets me know I’m growing as a writer. It feels strange to say, but I’m proud of me!! Thank you to everyone who has supported my writing, and Bitter Melon. I’m bursting with gratitude. 🇯🇲💫💘

I spend every day scribbling down thoughts as they’re ruminating, ideas for characters, worlds, little bits of dialogue - anything that might become something down the line.
So it was lovely to chat to the @guardian about writing rituals with the @reMarkable Paper Pure. #Ad
