February Book Club: Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand

February Book Club: Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Hello book lovers! 💕 February is the perfect time to dive into a classic tale of love, wit, and unrequited passion, so we’ll be reading Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. This French play is not only a timeless romance but also a humorous and touching exploration of identity, self-doubt, and the power of words.

Why Cyrano for February?
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s fun to explore a romance that’s anything but conventional. Cyrano, a masterful poet and swordsman, is known for his quick wit and legendary nose (yes, really!). While he’s deeply in love with the beautiful Roxane, he believes his appearance makes him unworthy of her love, so he lends his eloquence to help another win her heart. It’s a story full of charm, laughter, and bittersweet moments.

Special Note About This Month’s Schedule
We’ll be meeting on Tuesday, February 4th, which is one week earlier than usual, because I’ll be away the following week. Thank you for your flexibility! I’ll post the restaurant location in advance, but I’m always open to suggestions if you have a favorite spot in mind.

Why This Book Club?
If you’re new to the group or haven’t attended in a while, February is a great month to join in. Cyrano de Bergerac is a short and highly readable play, so there’s plenty of time to dive in before the meeting. Our discussions are lively, thought-provoking, and never feel like homework. Whether you’re here to make your New Year’s resolutions stick, reconnect with classics, or just enjoy great company and conversation over dinner, we’d love to see you!

Let’s celebrate February with a touch of romance, a dash of humor, and a lot of heart. Grab your copy of Cyrano de Bergerac (many editions are free or inexpensive!), and join us for a fun and welcoming discussion.

Happy reading!
