Course programme

A range of works of fiction in French. During each session we will discuss various aspects of the novel in question : themes, plot, characters, style, originality etc. We will also discuss how successful we think the author has been in this particular work.

Each month, the group will select a novel to be read before the group discussion at the following session . ( At the first session we will choose the novels for the following two sessions, in order to be always one book ahead in our selection and have sufficient time to buy the novels.).
