Bouillon de lectures : Boston Book Festival

At The French Library Get Directions

In October, we invite you to discover a book published by one of the authors who have visited or will visit the Center for the Boston Book Festival. Come ready to discuss your find for our monthly book club, Bouillon de lectures.
This book club is free and open to the public. Participants read a book of their choice related to each month's theme. The discussion, recommended for those comfortable with conversational French, will be moderated in French. This informal book club strives to foster discussion and dialogue around a love of literature: attendees are wholeheartedly encouraged to come and practice speaking in French. Interested in a more structured literature class? Try our monthly workshops, like Un Mois, Un Livre.
