In this month's meeting of our New Reads Book Club, we discussed Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli. Luiselli turns the cross-country road trip novel on its head: a family travels across the country, trying to reunite two lost girls with their family even as their own is drifting apart.

We appreciated having both an adult's and children's eye view in the book. We also all learned the difference between a documentarist and a documentarian. 

Everyone was in agreement: we're ready to start a Montreal chapter of the Valeria Luiselli Fan Club.

We're HUGE fans of this book in store. Everyone attending the book club was also in agreement: we're ready to start a Montreal chapter of the Valeria Luiselli Fan Club.

For next month's New Reads Book Club we're reading Milkman by Anna Burns, winner of this year's Man Booker Prize. The gathering will take place on April 24th, 7 pm at La Petite D+Q. 

See you there!
