📚 **ENGLISH BOOK CLUB IS BACK!** 🇬🇧
This season, our English Book Club is trying something new: **five books, five different literary genres, five conversations in English.**
From romance to crime fiction, from humour to memoir and short stories, each meeting will be a chance to discover a different kind of writing — and, of course, to **read, speak and share** together.
We’ll start on **20 November**, a little later than usual, so that Francesca can enjoy these first precious months with her little one — and the rest of us can have a good break before diving back into reading in English!
Our first book, *There Is a Light That Never Goes Out* by David M. Barnett, is a little longer than our usual choices, but it is an accessible read — and we have plenty of time to enjoy it at our own pace.
📖 **Our 2026–2027 reading list**
❤️ **20 November 2026 — Romance**
*There Is a Light That Never Goes Out* — David M. Barnett
