Chambly Women’s Book Club – November Meeting

📖 Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
📅 November 29th at 1:00 PM
📍 Presse Café Chambly

For our November gathering, we will be reading Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow - a deeply moving and beautifully layered story about friendship, creativity, ambition, and the complex ways our lives intertwine over time.

The novel follows Sam and Sadie, who first meet as children and reconnect years later to build video games together. Over decades, their partnership evolves through success, heartbreak, misunderstandings, and deep loyalty, exploring what it means to create something meaningful with another person—and what it costs to pursue passion and connection at the same time.

It is a story about love in many forms: friendship, collaboration, grief, and the worlds we build both inside and outside of games. Thoughtful, emotional, and often nostalgic, it invites reflection on identity, creativity, and the passage of time.

As always, our discussion will be relaxed and welcoming. There is no pressure to analyze deeply or to have finished the entire book. Whether you've read a little or a lot, you are warmly invited to join.

Discussions will be mainly in English, with some French welcome as well if helpful.
Come for meaningful conversation, connection, and a cozy late autumn afternoon over coffee or tea.

I’m really looking forward to seeing you there. 💜
Please RSVP if you plan to attend.

For our December gathering, we will be reading Small Things Like These. A quiet, powerful novel about compassion, courage, conscience, and the choices we make when faced with injustice.

Set in a small Irish town in the weeks leading up to Christmas in 1985, the story follows Bill Furlong, a coal merchant and devoted family man, as an unsettling discovery forces him to confront both his past and the silence of those around him. Though brief, this beautifully written novel leaves much to reflect on and discuss.

Chambly Women’s Book Club – January Meeting

📖 The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
📅 January 31st at 1pm
📍 Presse Café Chambly

For our January gathering, we will be reading The Remains of the Day — a quiet, deeply introspective novel about memory, duty, regret, and the choices that shape a life.

Stevens, an English butler who has devoted decades to serving at Darlington Hall, sets off on a journey through the countryside. Along the way, he reflects on his years of service, his loyalty to his former employer, and his relationship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton. Beneath his carefully composed recollections, a more complicated story gradually emerges: one of unspoken feelings, misplaced trust, and opportunities that may have slipped away.

Beautifully restrained and profoundly moving, this novel invites us to consider what it means to live well, what we sacrifice for a sense of duty, and how honestly we can look back on our own lives. It promises plenty to reflect on and share as we begin a new year.

As always, our discussion will be relaxed and welcoming. There is no pressure to analyze deeply or to have finished the entire book. Whether you've read a little or a lot, you are warmly invited to join.

Discussions will be mainly in English, with some French welcome as well if helpful.

Come for meaningful conversation, connection, and a cozy winter afternoon over coffee or tea.
