A final post on books today!

The Cheltenham Literature Festival, one of the Uk’s best-known, is taking place this year 2-11 October under strict social-distancing conditions; but the good news is that we can all join in, free of charge.  There are some interesting writers either taking part in discussions or introducing their books.  Take a look: https://www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/literature/

Lovers of all things French should enjoy ‘Au Revoir Tristesse. Lessons in Happiness from French Literature’. Writer, comedian and broadcaster Viv Groskop takes a light-hearted look at how to bring more humour, happiness, and joie de vivre into our lives through French literature. From the frothy hedonism of Colette and the wit of Cyrano de Bergerac to the intoxicating universe of Marguerite Duras and the heady passions of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, this is a love letter to great French writers.  October 7th, 10-11:00hrs.
