Join us for our first Intermediate Book Club at the Alliance Francaise de Denver. This book club is designed for those who are looking to deepen their language skills while reading and discussing French Books. We invite all B1+ level members of the Alliance Francaise de Denver and interested in participating in discussions about French literature to join our intermediate level French Book Club! Whether you are a seasoned reader or new to French books, your insights are valuable to our conversations. Our upcoming meetings will focus on a selection of authors and books that will be easy to read yet will provoke engaging discussions. THIS IS NOT A FRENCH CLASS.
  
Objectives:  

• Promote Language Skills: Encourage members to improve their French reading, speaking, and comprehension skills (*this is not a CLASS) 
• Explore diverse Francophone authors  
• Promote French discussion & cultural exchange: Create a welcoming environment for open discussions about characters and cultural context of the selected books 
• Build a community of Francophile readers within the Alliance Française of Denver community  

Note: If you are a fluent French reader, you might consider the French Book Club for Fluent readers.

Selected Book: 

Jacaranda - Gaël Faye 

Quels secrets cache l’ombre du jacaranda, l’arbre fétiche de Stella ? Il faudra à son ami Milan des années pour le découvrir. Des années pour percer les silences du Rwanda, dévasté après le génocide des Tutsi. En rendant leur parole aux disparus, les jeunes gens échapperont à la solitude. Et trouveront la paix près des rivages magnifiques du lac Kivu.

Sur quatre générations, avec sa douceur unique, Gaël Faye nous raconte l’histoire terrible d’un pays qui s’essaie malgré tout au dialogue et au pardon. Comme un arbre se dresse entre ténèbres et lumière, Jacaranda célèbre l’humanité, paradoxale, aimante, vivante.
