Qu’est-ce qu’un cercle de lecture ?
«Un club de lecture, ou cercle de lecture, est un regroupement de lecteurs qui lisent un même livre, pour ensuite en discuter. Chaque membre a une fonction: tous font des résumés, une personne est l’animatrice qui pose une question, il y a aussi l’illustratrice qui dessine ce qu’elle perçoit comme étant une version imagée du livre. Il y a aussi la biographe, qui recherche des informations sur l’auteur (e).
AF de Tulsa has an active book discussion group preparing to read La Grammaire Est Une Chanson Douce by Erik Orsenna. EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST in joining a “cercle de lecture” as a New Year’s resolution in 2021 with us peut-être? We can provide further information about our upcoming plans.

May 1940. As the war intensifies, German forces launch their invasion of France. They will soon reach Paris as the French army crumbles underneath unrelenting Luftwaffe and Panzer attacks. Once unthinkable, the prospect of defeat has caused panic within the French government. One man, Charles de Gaulle, a newly minted general, refuses to surrender. As his wife, Yvonne, and three children flee the city, he leaves for London where he’ll give rise to another voice—that of “la Résistance.”
A portion of the proceeds go to support FIAF cultural and education programs.
Co-presented with the Alliance Française of Greenwich’s Focus on French Cinema Festival.
This special screening is made possible with the generous support of BNP Paribas.
