The Book: La Gloire de Mon Père - Marcel Pagnol
This is a French classic and a highly recommend watching the film by the same name. This an autobiographical account of Pagnol's idyllic childhood summers in La Garrigue near to Marseille.Pagnol was the film maker of Jean de Florette fame.
Come if you are level 2 or above
It's an hilarious read, a great way to see informal language on a page and, of course, completely dialogue based.
👩‍🎓 3  Live book club meetings
We meet on Zoom 3 times over the summer and read passages and discuss - the language, the characters, the plot, cultural and historic cues of interest.

It is more relaxed than a regular class. Prep helps but is not essential.
