Details

For our next book we dive in to Victor Hugo's last novel, a story of the dramatic counter-revolutions during the French Revolution.

We will meet weekly and cover about 20 pages pages per meeting rounded to the nearest chapter.

Feel free to join if you missed some or all of our previous meetings. Just be prepared to discuss the chapters on the docket for the day.

Please bring a question or comment to the meeting- something that peaked your interest in that week's section of the novel.

If you have already read the novel, be very careful not to spoil later parts of the book during the meeting.
