Changes in our scheduled reading of 'My Cousin Maria Schneider' By Vanessa Schneider and translated by Molly Ringwald. Are you ready? Are you in? Comments below please.
From @elisabeth sauvage Callaghan: facilitator of our discussion events about this book:
I had a wonderful time last night leading a great discussion on Vanessa Schneider’s memoir “My Cousin, Maria Schneider,” with Shira Sandell, Miche Donjacour, and Sherrie Schuldheis. Plus, of course, the great Judy MacMahon, who had organized this online event.
Our conversation lasted a bit over an hour, and we peeled off very thoroughly the many layers of this very nice book. Maria was a very complex individual whose life was extremely complicated and rather tragic. Vanessa, 17 years younger than her cousin, and herself raised in a rather unusual family, admired her greatly, and was both fascinated and at time puzzled, or even horrified by her behavior.
We hope to continue our bookchat events, and I encourage you all to join us next time!
Let’s think about what we’d like to read together soon
Our #Bookchat EVENTS are very close now! Do you have your ZOOM LINK ready? And remember to check the date and time for your timezone![https://judymacmahon.substack.com/.../bookchat.../] *21 and 22 August - Monday and Tuesday.

Hello, I live in Paris. I write a blog/substack called Out My Window. Judy invited me to be part of #FrenchStack and I'm very excited and curious to meet my fellow Francophile writers. I'm new to the BookClub and have just ordered the book. I saw Last Tango in Paris 50 some years ago and I don't think I want to see it again but am interested in learning more about Maria Schneider and "meeting" all of you. And who knew about Molly Ringwald. Impressive! A bientôt, Sara
