Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of European literature as we explore recent prize-winning European novels translated into English. Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just love a good story, this club is for you! With a good book, good conversations, light snacks and a drink, we can unwind together. Open to all. Join us on Friday, May 2, 4:00 - 5:30pm to discuss Neige Sinno's Sad Tiger (France, in English March 2025).

Sad Tiger is a vivid account of incest and its consequences, beautifully written in purist prose. But this book is more than a confessional memoir in which the author lifts the lid on shocking facts without any embroidery. Winner of multiple prizes, Neige Sinno has created a powerful literary form with Sad Tiger, a book that took France by storm and is an international phenomenon. This book will stay with you. 
Be aware that it has passages that are shocking and hard to read.
