This reading group is dedicated to Eric Chacour, a Canadian writer from Quebec born in Montreal to immigrant parents from Egypt. Please note that the author won’t be present in person.

His debut novel, Ce que je sais de toi (What I know about you), starts in 1980s Cairo where Tarek’s whole life is laid out for him. A doctor like his father, he has taken over the family medical practice, married his childhood sweetheart and is well respected in society. When he opens a clinic in a disadvantaged area of the city, he meets Ali, a young man who is free from the societal pressures that govern Tarek’s life. This chance encounter will change everything, throwing Tarek’s marriage, career and his entire existence into question.
