Book Club: Suite Francaise


Just a reminder that the book for March is Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky. Discussion will begin on 1 April.
(If anyone wants to post suggestions for the April book, maybe they would find a suitable old thread (the main Book Club one?) or possibly start a new thread)

Of course!
We're not terribly 'learned' or intellectual in our discussions of the books - we just talk about them as we feel. Have a look at the threads for the books we've done previously and you'll see.

Meep is!!! I read her analysis of The Time Travellers Wife and wilted. I could never interrogate a piece of writing to that extent - nor could I write so intelligently on what I had read.

She's young Yola - her brain hasn't been worn out as much as ours!
Don't be intimidated! Just chirp up

Lol, Yola, I agree! I could have done it many many moons ago when I was in college, but I've been out of it more years than Meep is old! But I do enjoy her analyses!

Re: Book Club: Suite Francaise


Don't get me wrong - I thoroughly enjoyed her crit, it made really great reading and made me look at the story in a slightly different way. A good thing!

Yes, I too might have been able to write like that 25 years ago when studying literature - brain's atrophied since then sadly.
