If you are of post intermediate or advanced level, come along and join our French or Italian book clubs. Groups meet approximately once a month to discuss the group book that they have been reading at home and evaluate together their reading experience.

Volevo i pantaloni (L.Cardella)

Non ho paura (N.Ammaniti)

Racconti romani ( A.Moravia)

A Ciascuno il suo (L.Sciascia)

Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore (L.Pirandello)

Va dove ti porta il cuore (S.Tamaro)

Testimone inconsapevole (G.Carofiglio)

Cristo si e` fermato a Eboli (C.Levi)

Ad occhi chiusi (G.Carofiglio)

Autumn (October 2010 - March 2011):We are now reading Voci della Sera by Natalia Ginzburg.
