Reading Malicroix in June

View this post on Instagram

Recently I read a review of this book on a blog called Wuthering Expectations (it's pretty cool, Google it!), and I knew it was a book I had to read. The Kafkaesque theme of a young man with a weird inheritance – a house on a desolate island – appealed to me immediately. I don't know quite what else to expect, hopefully nothing too shocking 🙈, but I plan to read it in June with another book-reading friend – and anyone else who might be interested! #henribosco #malicroix #frenchliterature #classicbooks #classicliterature #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #reading #bookworm #booknerd #nyrb #nyrbclassics #nyrbooks

Next month I’ll be reading Henri Bosco’s Malicroix as a very informal readalong (informal as in, no particular schedule). I don’t often take a gamble on lesser known books whose authors I haven’t read before, however I was completely intrigued by Tom’s review and decided to go for it. Anyone’s welcome to join, and I will try to write a couple of check-in posts as I go. 🙂
