To the world Mrs Copplefield is the epitome of Victorian propriety: an exemplary society lady who writes a weekly column advising young ladies on how to be better wives. Only Adeline has never been a good wife or mother; she has no claim to the Copplefield name, nor is she an English lady . . . Now a black woman, born in Africa, who dared to pretend to be something she was not, is on trial in the English courts with all of London society baying for her blood. And she is ready to tell her story . . . "When I set out to write this book, I knew I wanted to write about a Black women living in Victorian England. I was deliberate about relying less on the 'slave ' or 'maid' narrative and instead place the focus on a resilient, resourceful and wealthy Victorian woman who just happens to be Black. It was also important for me to highlight the contributions of women of African descent who have mostly been erased from history. Although ‘Temi’ is a fictional character, there are ‘guest stars’ in this novel like, Sarah Parker Remond the only known Black woman to sign the register for women's rights in 1866 and Alice Kinloch. Both these Black women have all made a difference at a time when women’s voices were muted." --- Author, Lola Jaye Free entry Cocktail bar, nibbles, and discussion! Tell a friend!

My name is Mark Smallman, and I’m a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, Naad Yoga teacher, Aria Breath licensee, and Soma Breathwork practitioner. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to deliver wellbeing experiences for organisations like Meta, Google, Amazon, TikTok, Soho House, and Sense Arts as Tuned in Sound . As the UK Manager for GONG , I coordinate gong baths and sound meditation for corporate clients, alongside hosting public sessions across London and online, 7 days a week, with a talented team of practitioners. I also run regular online breathwork sessions, combining science-backed breathing techniques with music to create transformative experiences. The health benefits of breathwork are immense, it boosts energy efficiency, releases emotions, reconnects us to our bodies, and fosters inspiration and positivity. Music has a unique power to move and inspire us. Whether it’s on a dance floor, in therapy, or during spiritual practice, it’s an essential ingredient in many of life’s most profound moments. That’s why I take pride in pairing the transformative practice of breathwork with exceptional ambient and electronic music to elevate every session. Information Source: Tuned in Sound | eventbrite
