Nimes Area Book Club





Nîmes Area Book Club
meets every last Friday of the month



Friday 24 May 2019 - 11:00 am
The date has been changed due to the Ascension long weekend.

 Venue: a members home

 We will discuss  "Little" by Edward Carey 
The witty, macabre tale of a woman who was to become Madame Tussaud. 
An orphan, she became the unpaid apprentice of a doctor who replicated organs and other body parts for use in hospitals by trainee physicians. 
Then he turned his and Mary's skills to the production of heads. 
Their skill with wax attracted attention, and a museum of heads was created. 
The French Revolution is seen through Mary's eyes with its excesses of wealth and violence, and so we learn a lot about that century. 

 For practical reasons, attendance is limited to 14, 
so if you wish to attend, send me an e-mail.
