Capital XTRA Book Club with Leah Davis

Vol 9: Frances Mensah Williams - The Second Time We Met

Frances Mensah Williams' sixth novel 'The Second Time We Met' explores what happens when you get a second chance to fall in love at first sight. We meet Cara a young black woman from  North West London and Henry a young white man who grew up in a mansion in Gloucestershire. Frances breaks down what inspired her to view a love story through the lens of both class and race and reminds us that there is ultimately more to connect us than divide us.
