The American & Canadian Reading Group - February

The American & Canadian Reading Group

The Night Watchman, by Louise Elder

“Based on the extraordinary life of National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich’s grandfather who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against Native dispossession from rural North Dakota all the way to Washington, D.C., this powerful novel explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity and unfolds with the elegant prose, sly humour, and depth of feeling."

Host: Kayali Lenssen, Waterloo

We often share a meal together while sharing views on the book-of-the-month.

And secondarily, good reads we have enjoyed.  All contributions to the conversation are welcome!

Current book club guidelines/criteria: This book club is comprised of members of the American Women’s Club of Brussels and the American Club of Brussels. We look for great authors who write in English, available for purchase in shops or online, not more than 300-400 pages, and have a preference for those that have a score of at least 4/5 on Goodreads.  The books do not have to be recent, they can also be ones you loved that we might have missed.  We meet in the second week of the month, often on Wednesdays at either 1pm or 7pm, at a host’s home or a cafe/restaurant, in the greater Brussels area.
