Every month a group of willing and hungry readers gather to discuss a new book, have a nice chat and practice their English. New members are welcome!

This month's book of choice is:

"My Family and Other Animals" (1956) by Gerald Durrell.

The meeting will be held ONLINE. To join the club in the discussion, write to us at bibliotecainternazionale@comune.parma.it or send us a message on our Facebook Page. We will reply to you and send the link to the video meeting.

Ten-year-old Gerald doesn't know why his older brothers and sisters complain so much.

With snakes in the bath and scorpions on the lunch table, the family home on the Greek island of Corfu is a bit like a zoo so they should feel right at home...

Gerald joyfully pursues his interest in natural history in the midst of an unconventional and chaotic family life - all brilliantly retold in this very funny book.
