Club de lecture française - Aussi riche que le roi, 17th March, 8pm
Join us for our next French language book club at Night Owl Books on Monday, 17th March, at 8pm.
We'll be meeting in a small group to discuss the novel Aussi riche que le roi by Abigail Assor - en français!
Purchase a copy of the book for a free spot at the book club (while spaces last!), plus a cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee to enjoy as we meet and chat about the book in French.
Select 'local collection' to pick up your copy from Night Owl. Alternatively please select a Royal Mail option, and I will ship a copy to you.
Quelques informations sur le livre:
Années 1990, Casablanca. Sarah n'a rien et à la sortie du lycée, elle rencontre Driss, qui a tout; elle décide de le séduire, elle veut l'épouser. Sa course vers lui, c'est un chemin à travers Casa et ses tensions : les riches qui prennent toute la place, les joints fumés au bord de leurs piscines, les petites bonnes harcelées, les murmures faussement scandalisés, et l'envie d'aller ailleurs. Mais ailleurs, c'est loin.
Paperback, 272 pages, published 2022.
- What level of French is the book suitable for?
I'd recommend the book for anyone with around A-Level experience of the French language. We'll try to stick to speaking in French throughout the book club where possible, but the aim of the group is to provide a supportive space in which to enjoy reading and practising speaking in French - and the question 'comment dit-on en français...' is very much welcome!
- Where will we be meeting?
The event will be held at Night Owl Books, 1 Bridge Street, East Linton, EH40 3AG.
- We'd like to attend as a couple and share a copy of the book - is that possible?
Of course! Please let me know by writing a note when adding the book to your cart, and you can pick up one copy of the book from Night Owl and receive a credit of £10 to spend on another book of your choice.
A note on Covid precautions: if feel unwell on the day, please take a lateral before attending as a courtesy to other attendees, if you can.
