Book Club
Posted on September 28, 2018
In our next edition of the AFL book club, we will be reading and discussing "La Vérité sur l'Affaire Harry Quebert" by Joël Dicker.
This book is in French and we will be discussing it in French and English. If reading a whole book in French seems overwhelming to you, do not hesitate to read its English translation: "The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair."
Still free to AFL members! A $5 donation is suggested for non-members.
Join us on Sunday, October 21 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to let us know you will be there!
