Camino de Santiago
A discussion on family, perseverance, and the transformative power of slow travel... With the English Cafè
The Sirmione Book Club English continues to offer engaging and thought-provoking discussions! The upcoming session will be no exception, focusing on a meaningful and unique travel story sure to inspire participants.
The next meeting with the special edition of the club, i.e. the English Café, will take place at Hotel Dogana in via Verona 149, Sirmione, on October 10th at 8:00 pm.
During the evening the participants will discuss the article published by The Guardian: “A Lesson in Slow Travel: Walking the Camino de Santiago“. This touching piece recounts the journey of three siblings, one of whom has Down’s syndrome, as they walk the historic pilgrimage route together. The article explores themes of perseverance, family bonds, and the transformative power of slow travel, offering a heartfelt perspective on both physical and emotional journeys.
The article is available here for participants who wish to join the discussion. We look forward to another enriching conversation in a beautiful setting!
The book we are reading for the Sirmione Book Club English, that will be discussed on November 14th at the Public Library, is Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Free admission.
You can book your place at the English Cafè
Our English reading group features monthly encounters, organized as follows:
- The Sirmione Book Club English, on uneven months in the Municipal Library, with books proposed by the coordinators Rosemary Williamson and Rosalind Rabbitt
- The English Cafè, on even months, where to more freely talk about books we’d like to read, share, propose. The English Cafè, as the name suggests, will not take place in the Public Library, but in a more informal venue, namely a pub, bar, hotel or vinery in Sirmione. The designated place will be announced each time.
