BOOK CLUB ITALIANO
Joining a book club is fun – and if it’s all in Italian, even better!
There are many good reasons to join a book club: you discover new books that you might have overlooked; it gives you a reason to find time to read before the next meeting (even with a busy schedule); you can have respectful debates about something other than politics; you can read exciting fiction that deals with social issues; hearing other readers’ ideas might get you to re-think yours.
Teachers of Italian have also participated and one happy teacher said: “The hours attending Book Club Italiano help boost the required hours of continual professional development I need to complete annually.”
SONO MANCATO ALL’AFFETTO DEI MIEI CARI – ANDREA VITALI
DATES: 11 May, 25 May, 8 June (Fortnightly Saturdays). Enrol by Friday 26 April.
Un romanzo che racconta con ironia le incomprensioni tra un padre tutto casa e lavoro e i suoi tre figli che invece non hanno nessuna intenzione di portare avanti la sua attività commerciale.
Con uno stile semplice e colloquiale l’autore vi fara sorridere ma anche commuovere.
