English Readers Club
Join the informal group of English readers in Uitikon every second month on Thursdays at 19.30h. We discuss all sorts of books: bestsellers, biographies, classics, thrillers etc.. The group is moderated and the books are proposed by Heidi Kunz, a native speaker, English teacher and avid reader. Heidi is also a long standing member at the Uitikon library.
The books can be purchased at the library. No registration is needed and you do not have to comit to attend each session or to even have fully read the book - we will simply be delighted to welcome you to an interesting evening!

They are Nell Stone, fascinating, magnetic and famous for her controversial work studying South Pacific tribes, her intelligent and aggressive husband Fen, and Andrew Bankson, who stumbles into the lives of this strange couple and becomes totally enthralled. Within months the trio are producing their best ever work, but soon a firestorm of fierce love and jealousy begins to burn out of control, threatening their bonds, their careers, and, ultimately, their lives . . .

Mikki Brammer: The collected regrets of clover" (CHF 20.90)
Clover Brooks has forgotten how to live. It might be because she spends her time caring for people in their final days, working as a death doula in New York City. Or it might be because she has a regret of her own - one she can't bring herself to let go of. But then she meets Claudia: a feisty old woman who has one last wish . . .
As Clover begins a new adventure, will she remember how to live her own big, beautiful life?
