Each month, we choose a new book written by a European author or taking place in Europe.
We've read books about real people who have moved to France and write about the challenges of integrating oneself into a totally different culture, historical fiction books (think WWII-era Europe), and lighter (but still entertaining) fiction that takes place in Italy or England.
Some of our readers travel frequently to Europe and some are armchair travelers, but we hope that our book club will be an entertaining trip to your favorite cities, a place to engage in lively discussions, and perhaps make some new friends!
If you can't make the meetings in person, that's okay! You can still follow along and read with us as we travel to new places together. We hope you enjoy the journey!
For December's meeting, we are reading Jacqueline in Paris by Ann Mah. A rare and dazzling portrait of Jacqueline Bouvier’s college year abroad in postwar Paris, this is an intimate and electrifying story of love and betrayal, and the coming-of-age of an American icon – before the world knew her as Jackie.
For November's meeting, we are reading Cassoulet Confessions: Food, France, Family and the Stew That Saved My Soul by Sylvie Bigar.
For October's meeting, we are reading Bruno, Chief of Police: A Novel of the French Countryside by Martin Walker, the first installment in the delightful, internationally acclaimed series featuring Chief of Police Bruno.
This month's book is a recommendation from a sweet friend who knows I love books about Europe, and I chose the book as our next read because it's based on a true story about how the famed hotelier, César Ritz, got his start in the industry at the Savoy Hotel in London.
A moment on the subway platform changes two women’s lives forever—a debut thriller that will take your breath away.
When her father dies, Kay Wilkinson can’t cry. Over ten years, Alzheimer’s had steadily eroded this erudite man into a paranoid lunatic. Surely one’s own father passing should never come as such a relief.
Three generations of women in the Ferrari family must heal the broken pieces of their lives on a trip of a lifetime through picturesque Italy from New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Probst.
There's only been one time that Rose couldn't stop me from doing the wrong thing and that was a mistake that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
When Mark Greenside—a native New Yorker living in California, political lefty, writer, and lifelong skeptic—is dragged by his girlfriend to a tiny Celtic village in Brittany at the westernmost edge of France in Finistère, or what he describes as "the end of the world," his life begins to change.
It’s a bit of a departure from our usual European genre, but it is by the author of one of our favorite books The Nightingale. I hope we all enjoy this month’s choice just as much!
This month, we've opted for a wonderful book by Jeffrey Archer. It's not a new release (2011), however it's the first book in The Clifton Chronicles that can be read as a stand alone.
On the remote Scottish island of Mure, the Christmas season is stark, windy, and icy—yet incredibly festive and beautiful...
