Words&Pages Ottawa

Words&Pages Ottawa is looking for new members to replace the ones that went off to far-away places or are currently busy with other aspects of their lives. Our club members are either involved in international work or have interest in international affairs and travel to far-away lands. Books that we read and discuss are a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, mainly the ones that make us think and want to talk about it. If a book is made into a movie we might see this movie following the discussion. The idea is to broaden our reading horizons and have a group of like-minded women to talk about our impressions, thoughts, etc. The club meets at members’ homes on rotating basis on the last Thursday of a month from 6pm to 8pm. Examples of the books that we recently read: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: Half of a Yellow Sun, Ayaan Hirisi Ali: Infidel, David Sedaris: When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Joseph Boyden: Three Day Road.
