The Wednesday Club is set in Brixton, South London, and follows four Windrush-generation elders - Claudette, a retired NHS matron; Winston, a retired jazz musician; Millicent, a retired schoolteacher and community archivist; and Errol, a retired master tailor - who meet every Wednesday morning at Gloria's caf?on Coldharbour Lane.
When their friend Desmond Featherstone, the beloved local barber, is found dead in his flat, the official verdict is natural causes. But the group notices something the authorities won't: a solicitor's notice appears in Desmond's shop window within hours of his death, before anyone outside the street knew he was gone. A property developer has been circling the block for months.
What begins as quiet suspicion becomes a careful, methodical investigation. Working through community networks, archival research, medical expertise, and patient observation, the four friends piece together a decades-long scheme of dispossession targeting elderly Windrush homeowners - one that reaches from a South London developer all the way to a former Whitehall civil servant named Alderton.
Bittersweet in its resolution - justice is partial, not complete - the novel is ultimately a celebration of people who survived with their dignity and humour intact, and who refuse, even in their seventies, to accept what the paperwork says.
