FRENCH BOOK CLUB - La discrétion, Faïza Guene

? The French Book Club is a friendly French reading group led by a member of the AF Manchester Culture and Communication team. It is open to all - you do not have to be enrolled in a class with us. All works and discussions are in French, so an intermediate level is required. It is a great way to practice your French while discovering works of literature in French.

Synopsis : Yamina est née dans un cri. À Msirda, en Algérie colonisée. À peine adolescente, elle a brandi le drapeau de la Liberté. Quarante ans plus tard, à Aubervilliers, elle vit dans la discrétion. Pour cette mère, n'est-ce pas une autre façon de résister ? Mais la colère, même réprimée, se transmet, l'air de rien…
