Club de lecture française - En attendant Bojangles, 4th November, 8pm

Join us for our next French language book club at Night Owl Books on Monday, 4th November, at 8pm.

We'll be meeting in a small group to discuss the novel En attendant Bojangles by Olivier Bourdeaut - 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:

Devant leur petit garçon, ils dansent sur "Mr. Bojangles" de Nina Simone. Chez eux, il n'y a de place que pour le plaisir et la fantaisie. Celle qui mène le bal, c'est la mère, feu follet imprévisible. Elle les entraîne dans un tourbillon de poésie pour que la fête continue, coûte que coûte. L'amour fou n'a jamais si bien porté son nom.

Paperback, 176 pages, published 2017.

- 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 £10.60 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.
