WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13

7PM  | VIRTUAL  | FOUND IN TRANSLATION BOOK GROUP | This book group will be discussing Woman of the Ashes by Mia Couto.

ABOUT: Whether you're a seasoned traveler, a voracious reader, or a dreamer who wants to see the world, all are invited to our newest book club focused on international literature. Sometimes visiting other countries doesn't always give travelers an insider's view into foreign cultures; sometimes we are still too outside, too different, to get at the heart of a place. Often the best way to understand distant lands and peoples is to read their literature, to get inside the head of a foreign author, to hear their myths and fairy tales molded around words they penned in their mother tongue.
