Meeting on the first Thursday of each month, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, this group has a lot of fun sipping wine, tasting cheese and crackers and taking turns reading out loud in French. Enjoy hearing and sharing the richness of the French language.
September’s meeting is on the 1st and takes place back at its summer location at the Burnham Library in Bridgewater (see address below).
SPECIAL NOTE TO NEW PARTICIPANTS: We will probably be starting a new book in November and will need to order it very soon because the copies will be coming from Europe and will take several weeks to arrive.Unlike most of the books we read, this particular one isn’t so easy to obtain from Amazon (the prices vary a lot) and so I have found a dealer who is willing to order new copies that cost a little under $12 each, including shipping. Our next selection is “Lutetia” by Pierre Assouline.
Lutetia (2005) raconte une histoire d’amour entre le détective du Lutetia et une amie d’enfance, mais surtout une histoire de la France de 1938 à 1945 à travers l’histoire de l’Hôtel Lutetia qui a, durant toute l’Occupation, servi de siège à l’Abwehr (les services secrets de l’état-major allemand) puis, à la Libération, de lieu d’accueil des déportés et rapatriés.
