SINGLE MOM SUPPER CLUB

  • Longlisted for the German Book Prize 2025!
  • A fabulous, fast-paced and funny debut novel about single mothers in precarious life situations.
  • Jacinta Nandi uniquely blends feminism with top-notch British humor. 
  • English sample translation (MT) available soon.

Two Brits, two Germans, four single parents, and one major culture clash: Kayla, Tamara, Anja, and Nanna are friends who criticize and support each other with equal fervor. In sharply humorous episodes, we follow these women and their children through their everyday lives, from a kids’ birthday party with cocaine in the family bathroom to a parents' evening with a crush on the new teacher.

Jacinta Nandi's debut novel, Single Mom Supper Club, offers a very British, zeitgeisty, and hilarious look at life, the bureaucratic hurdles for single parents, and finding comfort in the most unlikely places.

"Jacinta Nandi is Germany's cult author. She writes with ruthless honesty and relentless humor, and most of all: she is uncompromisingly good.” Mithu Sanyal, author of Identitti
