Join our Book Clubs! Please see flyer below for our next book selection and meeting dates:
We offer our members two French Book Clubs that meet every 6 weeks to two months on Saturdays, at the Alliance Française de Tucson. We come together to discuss our thoughts, practice French and share what we have learned. Please note that due Covid-19 are meetings are held online through Zoom until further notice. Book Club discussions are free for AFT members and $5 for non-members.
Our Cercle Littéraire meetings (high intermediate to advanced levels) are led by our instructor Liz. The discussions focus on the whole book. Participants are expected to have read enough of it to be able to discuss it. Speakers with intermediate to advanced French skills are welcomed. Unless otherwise specified, all books are written in French and discussions take place in French. Questions are sent to participants prior to a book discussion.
NEXT MEETING: Saturday, August 14th, 2021 from 2p to 3.30p. The book discussed is L'ANOMALIE by Hervé Le Tellier. It is available on Amazon Kindle.

"Il est une chose admirable qui surpasse toujours la connaissance, l’intelligence, et même le génie, c’est l’incompréhension." En juin 2021, un événement insensé bouleverse les vies de centaines d’hommes et de femmes, tous passagers d’un vol Paris-New York. Parmi eux : Blake, père de famille respectable et néanmoins tueur à gages ; Slimboy, pop star nigériane, las de vivre dans le mensonge ; Joanna, redoutable avocate rattrapée par ses failles ; ou encore Victor Miesel, écrivain confidentiel soudain devenu culte. Tous croyaient avoir une vie secrète. Nul n’imaginait à quel point c’était vrai. Roman virtuose où la logique rencontre le magique, L’anomalie explore cette part de nous-mêmes qui nous échappe.'
NEW! Our Club de Lecture: niveau A2/B1 (60 to 90 mins) meetings are led by our instructor Lieve. The discussions focus on the whole book. Participants are expected to have read enough of it to be able to discuss it. Speakers with high beginner to intermediate level French skills are welcomed.
