Nimes Area Book Club





Nîmes Area Book Club
meets every last Friday of the month
 Friday 29th June 2018 - 11 am

Venue: a member's home
We will discuss: 
“The House by Dvina”, by Eugenie Fraser.

The House by the Dvina is the riveting story of two families separated in culture
 and geography but bound together by a Russian-Scottish marriage.

 Eugenie Fraser marvelously evokes a child's reactions to two totally different environments, sets of customs and family backgrounds, while the characters are beautifully drawn and splendidly memorable. 
The stark realities of hunger, deprivation and fear are sharply contrasted 
with the adventures of childhood.

 In this novel Eugenie Fraser vividly and poignantly portrays a way of life 
that finally disappeared in violence and tragedy.

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