Suite Francaise by Iréne Némirovsky
Tuesday, March 10th 7pm
Vibes & Scribes Bookshop, 21 Lavitt's Quay, Cork
Set during the year that France fell to the Nazis, Suite Francaise falls into two parts.
The first is a brilliant depiction of a group of Parisians as they flee the Nazi invasion; the second follows the inhabitants of a small rural community under occupation. Suite Francaise is a novel that teems with wonderful characters struggling with the new regime. However, amidst the mess of defeat, and all the hypocrisy and compromise, there is hope.
True nobility and love exist, but often in surprising places.

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Saturday, March 14th at 11am
Vibes & Scribes Bookshop, 21 Lavitt's Quay, Cork
Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite seem to be working. But tonight is different.
Tonight, when he wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It's ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.
It wants the truth. Patrick Ness takes the final idea of the late, award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd and weaves an extraordinary and heartbreaking tale of mischief, healing and above all, the courage it takes to survive.
