MWA Book Club
One of the few pursuits that remain unchanged in this new world of social distancing is the unwavering comfort of a book. A small portal that at once transports us out of our own reality while affording us access to others.
Whether you’re isolating for health reasons, taking some time for yourself at home or just looking for a good book to tuck into, the MWA Book Club will introduce you to some exciting Dhivehi books.
Make yourself a cup of tea and find a cozy spot to read along with our community.
MWA Book Club is a meeting place for us all; a place to converse, share, learn and make new friends. A place to support each other, lend an empathetic ear and celebrate the little wins as we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other through the stories we share.
If you are a local author or you would like to suggest a Dhivehi book, maybe that one book that still crosses your mind after many years, a book that changed the way you move through life or just something you read last week, we would love to hear about it!
