Unity Book Club: Before the Winter Ends by Khadro Mohamed

Melissa and Eden host our monthly book club to discuss some of the excellent recently released books.

For the month of August we will be discussing Before the Winter Ends by Khadro Mohamed.

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.
