Slow Reading: de Stael's Corinne or Italy

Slow down, read closely, think and discuss - that's what we are asking you to do in this club. Embrace passion, art and Italy in a one of the most literary love affairs of all time in Madame de Stael's Corinne, translated from the German by Felicia Hemans.

Turn off your smart phones, step away from the hectic pace of life, and discuss words.

Includes a tea or coffee.
