Vacation time !

By -
Thank you Sandrine for hosting today's mini session ! We had a good discussion on "The birth of the pill", Simone Veil and many other things, ate cookies and drank a wonderful green beverage with cucomber and fruits !

As it seems difficult to have many people during summer I've decided to take a vacation break and meet again on September 17th. I will make an effort to create a flyer and try to get new people before. Yes I know I said that already but...time flyes.
Please send me your list of wishes, as far as our next reads are concerned, not all your wishes in life I mean...
Have a wonderful summer, fellow clubbers. I hope to see you for other fun meetings of any sorts.
Love
Isa

January Book Selection

By -
Hello club members!  The book for January will be "The Buddha In The Attic" by Julie Otsuka.  The book is very short, so should be "easy" to finish before the meeting on January 19th. "A gorgeous novel by the celebrated author of When the Emperor Was Divine that tells the story of a group of young women brought from Japan to San Francisco as “picture brides” nearly a century ago. In eight unforgettable sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the extraordinary lives of these women, from their arduous journeys by boat, to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; from their experiences raising children who would later reject their culture and language, to the deracinating arrival of war. Once again, Julie Otsuka has written a spellbinding novel about identity and loyalty, and what it means to be an American in uncertain times."

June meeting details

By -
The June meeting will be held at Leigh's house. 11 rue des Cantonnades in Junas, just behind la mairie. There is a parking lot there, but if it's full, you will find parking on the streets nearby. The house is an old barn that's been renovated and there's a temporary, very ugly fence around the patio where we'll be sitting. See you there! The book is GONE GIRL by Gillian Flynn.
