EUPL Book Club on 'historical fiction' with Ioana Pârvulescu and Osvalds Zebris

Our third EUPL book club meeting spotlighted historical fiction. The book club read three EUPL winning novels: Viaţa Începe Vineri (Life Begins On Friday) by Ioana Pârvulescu (Romania, 2013), Le Dernier Gardien d’Ellis Island (The Last Guardian of Ellis Island) by Gaëlle Josse (France, 2015), and Gaiļu Kalna Ēnā (In the Shadow of Rooster Hill) by Osvalds Zebris (Latvia, 2017).

For our discussion on the theme, we were joined by Ioana Pârvulescu and Osvalds Zebris, who spoke about their EUPL winning novels and about their lives and writing careers following the Coronavirus outbreak.
