SAALI introduced our Book Club in January 2024. Once a month, we share a book written by an African author, reviewed by one of our members. For anyone with an interest in exploring African culture, this is an experience not to be missed.
Where every page sparks a conversation.
For those of us who love reading, we know that a good book can transport you to another world and make you see things in your own life with a different lens. We hope there will be at least one book review that ‘speaks to you’ and inspires you to get a copy for yourself.
We would like to invite our SAALI Community to contribute to the SAALI Book Club by submitting a review of a book by an African author.
We know there are some avid readers amongst you or maybe you have a favourite book you want to share with us and others. What are you waiting for?
If your review is selected, you will be eligible for a Dymmocks book voucher. Submit your review via email on saaliinc@gmail.com.
