Join us for the June meeting of Les Copains du Mardi where we will be discussing Une année chez les Français by Fouad Laroui.

This humorous and poignant novel follows Mehdi, a brilliant 10-year-old Moroccan boy from a modest background who receives a scholarship to attend an elite French school in Casablanca in 1969. Through Mehdi's innocent yet perceptive eyes, Laroui crafts a witty coming-of-age story that explores post-colonial tensions, cultural hybridity, and the universal challenges of belonging.

Les Copains du Mardi is a book club for advanced/fluent speakers of French. Organized by one of our longtime members, Cindy Marrs, Les Copains usually meets offsite at a member’s house and has space for around eight individuals. If you are interested in joining, please contact Cindy to see if there is room. You may reach her by email at lbmarrs@gmail.com.
