Reading Group on Continuer by Laurent Mauvignier
Thu 21 MayThis reading group is dedicated to Continuer by Laurent Mauvignier, the Prix Goncourt-winning author of La Maison vide. Note that Laurent Mauvignier will not be present to discuss the novel.
A middle-aged woman who fears her life has slipped from her grasp seeks to reconnect with her adolescent son before he too eludes her completely. Together they embark upon an improbable trek on horseback through Kirghizstan. Will this foreign landscape and physical ordeal allow mother and son to communicate, and what secrets and shameful memories are each of them harbouring? By the author of the Prix Goncourt-winning La Maison vide (2025), Continuer (2016) is an earlier exploration of the secrets and silences that can bind a family together or pull it apart.
