The Club de Lecture will discuss Incendies by Wajdi Mouawad.
Before she dies, Nawal, who has been silent for years, decides to make her last wishes known to her two children, Jeanne and Simon. In her
will, she tells them the obscure story of their birth and reveals the existence of their brother, of whom they were unaware. Although Nawal
feels calmed by her revelations, she has nevertheless turned her children's lives upside down.

The Club de Lecture will discuss Un abri de fortune by Agnès Ledig.
In the heart of the Vosges mountains, Capucine and Adrien have opened a gîte that welcomes people damaged by life: Rémy, Clémence and
Karine. Sitting on his bench at the top of the hill, old Jean wouldn't miss the sight of this refuge for the world. One day, Karine
finds three engraved stones: 1942, 1944 and 1945, while clearing a plot of land... What she discovers will have unexpected resonances in the
lives of all the protagonists and shed new light on their history.

The Club de Lecture will discuss La variante chilienne by Pierre Raufast.
Jars of pebbles are the tangible proof of his memory. The pebble is the switch he can use to bring his memories to light. A bucolic summer in which three generations tell their stories. During this summer interlude, Margaux, Pascal and Florin, an old local man, form a bond. A holiday period during which they evoke memories and share not only fragments of memory, but also life-saving confidences and lovely moments of good food and drink. Sharing, mutual support, communication, the serenity of the place: these are the essential elements.

The Club de Lecture will discuss A la scène, à la ville by Régine Crespin.
Régine Crespin graduated from the Paris Conservatoire and embarked on an operatic career that made her an international star invited to
the world's greatest opera houses and stages. She sang in French, German and Italian and she taught at the Paris Conservatoire until
1992, passing on her art with as much passion and generosity as she put into practicing it.
Régine Crespin was also a woman who loved life, and led a surprisingly rich existence in the city.
An essential book for getting to know an exceptional artist who left her mark on her time.
