Autumn book club

By MFR

It’s started to rain, the leaves have fallen and the warm summer days are nothing but a distant memory.

Ideal conditions for reading, it would seem!

The good news is that our TBR list has grown considerably during the warmer months.

Poetry lovers, as well as those who appreciate biographical works, will certainly be interested in L’intranquille monsieur Pessoa. In this book, Nicolas Barral gives us an unique insight into the complex personality of one of the greatest Portuguese poets of the 20th century.

Fans of Alix Garin have been impatiently waiting for Impénétrable, a raw, vulnerable and uncompromising journey into womanhood. By telling her own story, Garin manages to brilliantly capture the painful yet liberating experience of finding yourself in spite of society’s expectations.

And for all the lovebirds out there, we have a story about… well, lovebirds! Seagull and Owl (Mouette et Chouette) are as different as night and day. But when they meet, it’s love at first sight!

So, make yourself a cup of tea, grab a warm blanket and find a cozy spot at home with your favorite title this fall!
