Unity Book Club August 2025 | Before the Winter Ends
Event description
About the book:
In the cold Wellington winter, Omar’s grades are slipping, his mum is unwell and his best friend is growing distant. Two decades earlier in Mogadishu, Asha and Yasser are falling in love and starting to build a life together while a burgeoning war threatens to take it away.
Before the Winter Ends explores the relationship between mother and son across Aotearoa New Zealand, Somalia and Egypt as they search for understanding and try to bridge the distance between them. Khadro Mohamed’s debut novel is a stark portrayal of how the past illuminates the present and how grief shapes a family.
Melissa and Eden will be hosting our monthly book club to discuss some of the excellent recently released books.
In July we will be discussing Before the Winter Ends by Khadro Mohamed.
