Keiko has never fit in, neither in her family, nor in school, but when at the age of eighteen she begins working at the Hiiromachi branch of “Smile Mart,” she finds peace and purpose in her life. In the store, unlike anywhere else, she understands the rules of social interaction—many are laid out line by line in the store’s manual—and she does her best to copy the dress, mannerisms, and speech of her colleagues, playing the part of a “normal” person excellently, more or less. Managers come and go, but Keiko stays at the store for eighteen years. It’s almost hard to tell where the store ends and she begins. Keiko is very happy, but the people close to her, from her family to her coworkers, increasingly pressure her to find a husband, and to start a proper career, prompting her to take desperate action…A brilliant depiction of an unusual psyche and a world hidden from view, Convenience Store Woman is an ironic and sharp-eyed look at contemporary work culture and the pressures to conform, as well as a charming and completely fresh portrait of an unforgettable heroine.Book Club is hosted monthly so if you aren't able to make it this month, join us next month! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/orlando/orlando-bipoc-womens-book-club-april-2026-book-club/100001984694973091 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Orlando - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill - **lat**: 28.5653225 - **long**: -81.3647118 - **full address**: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, 1562 North Mills Avenue, Orlando, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Orlando BIPOC Women's Book Club - April 2026 Book Club - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/ef08c9dd447fab4b20e6c7bb394f4f2f7363c3706ceabf29b4dd818878183bae-rimg-w1200-h600-dc8e5c3f-gmir.jpg?v=1773081156 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Orlando BIPOC Women's Book Club - April 2026 Book Club being held? - **A:** Orlando BIPOC Women's Book Club - April 2026 Book Club takes place on Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, 1562 North Mills Avenue, Orlando, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Orlando BIPOC Women's Book Club - April 2026 Book Club? - **A:** Orlando BIPOC Women's Book Club - April 2026 Book Club is organized by Orlando BIPOC Women's Book Club. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Orlando BIPOC Women's Book Club - April 2026 Book Club", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/ef08c9dd447fab4b20e6c7bb394f4f2f7363c3706ceabf29b4dd818878183bae-rimg-w1200-h600-dc8e5c3f-gmir.jpg?v=1773081156", "startDate": "2026-04-23T18:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-23T20:00:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/orlando/orlando-bipoc-womens-book-club-april-2026-book-club/100001984694973091", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Firebirds Wood Fired Grill", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1562 North Mills Avenue", "postalCode": "32803", "addressLocality": "Orlando", "addressRegion": "FL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "28.5653225", "longitude": "-81.3647118" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Please join us for our discussion of this month's book selection: Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-09", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-23T20:00:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-09", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/orlando/orlando-bipoc-womens-book-club-april-2026-book-club/100001984694973091" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-09", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-09", "url": "https://allevents.in/orlando/orlando-bipoc-womens-book-club-april-2026-book-club/100001984694973091", "price": 0, "name": "Book Club Attendee" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Orlando BIPOC Womens Book Club", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/orlando-bipoc-womens-book-club/25209310", "description": "This book club is a gathering of BIPOC women in Orlando, FL who share a passion for books, storytelling, and cultural exploration.
