Books We’ve Explored (So Far)

The French Book Club began in 2020 with a group of motivated French learners eager to dive into literature beyond the textbook. Since then, our circle of readers has grown into a vibrant, international community—meeting weekly to explore classic, modern, and contemporary French texts together.

Over the years, we’ve read a wide range of novels, thrillers, memoirs, and more—from Balzac to Ernaux, Modiano to Lemaître—sharing ideas, questions, and plenty of laughter and emotions along the way.

Below is a selection of some of the books we’ve read so far. It’s not an exhaustive list, but it gives a sense of the richness and diversity of our shared reading journey. We hope you’ll join us for the next one.
