A friendly group aiming to explore and understand French literature. We read prose, essays, poems and plays; selected by the group. We read slowly to better appreciate the language and story and we research the social and political context in which they were written. The books can be read in English or French and we tend to discuss them mostly in English. Since the group started, we have read a lot of 19th-century authors, occasionally delving into the 16th and 17th Century. More recently the group has selected 20th & 21st centuries authors. Currently reading Proust Swann’s Love.
