Better Never Than Late explores migration, identity, love, and the emotional weight of leaving home. Through themes of displacement, womanhood, and belonging, Unigwe captures the struggles and resilience of life in a foreign land.
Who We Are
Wine and Books is a book club and community for fiction lovers who need an escape from the seriousness of life. On this side of the internet, we talk about the books we love, pair them with the perfect drink, and connect with people who actually get why we're so invested in fictional characters.
Here, you'll find monthly book picks, wine pairings, book reviews, and soon, a podcast where we dive deep into books. The goal is simple: create a space where book lovers can escape together, and have meaningful conversations, over their shared love for reading.
Life's too serious. Let's escape together.
