Reading group “L’allègement des vernis” by Paul Saint-Bris

Once a month, the reading group meets up to discuss a couple of books selected in advance (from classical to contemporary French literature) and discovers other members’ views on them. Meetings take place at the Institut français d’Écosse, usually on the last Tuesday of the month.

About the book:

A delightful and captivating debut novel by Parisian art director and photographer Paul Saint Bris about an invented and wildly controversial restoration of the Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world.
