Join us for the October meeting of Les Copains du Mardi where we will be discussing La maison du retour by Jean-Paul Kauffmann.

In this profound work, journalist Kauffmann reflects on his return to normal life after spending three years as a hostage in Lebanon. Using rich, contemplative prose, he examines the nature of captivity, freedom, and the meaning of home, creating a thoughtful meditation on absence, return, and the human capacity for resilience.

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.
