Hi,
 
As the summer holidays are drawing to a close, I thought I'd email you all to remind you about the book we're reading and when we're going to meet up for the first time this academic year.
The book is  What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt. 
 
Note (for those who haven't started the book or might be struggling with it):  After talking about this book with Michelle she was of the same opinion as I.  For around the first 130 pages, prior to the "élément perturbateur*" on which the action turns, the book is rather hard going, the characters seem over-intellectualised and over-intellectualising, making this probably the most difficult book we've  so far. However, tbook takes off from this point* and it becomes a real page-turner, so it's really worth persisting beyond the opening.
 
Date:  Friday, 4th September.  Same place, same time.
 
Enjoy the last 12 days before the new school year begins!
