Book of the week
A Country of Small Rooms
by Imani Osei
A luminous novel about the spaces we build inside ourselves — this week we read it together, on air and in the community.
“Osei writes rooms the way other novelists write characters: with secrets, with weather, with doors that never quite close.”
