In 2 meetings of 1 hour and 30 minutes each, the Italian Book Club will explore the novel Estate Caldissima by Gabriella Dal Lago (in Italian).
During the meetings with their Book Club tutor, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the author and background of the chosen book, read aloud a few chosen passages and learn more about grammar, language structures and vocabulary throughout the reading. Participants will then be encouraged to discuss and ask questions about the book’s characters, plot, message, style, and overall enjoyment of their specific reading experience.
