ELLIOTT BAY BOOK GROUP
Tuesday, May 6 at 6:30 p.m.

Each month, the Elliott Bay Book Club reads and discusses the best in contemporary fiction with the occasional classic thrown in for good measure. This month we examine Gaétan Soucy's The Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches. French Canadian writer Gaétan Soucy's novel was a finalist for France's prestigious Prix Renaudot. It is the story of two siblings that grow up isolated from the outside world. Le Monde said of the book that, "Soucy is a master of suspense...while the tale becomes more explicit as it progresses, it also becomes more bewitching, more mysteriously pulsating." and the Toronto Star wrote, "Takes a short time to read and a long time to forget."
