The Book Circle: Heart or Head? | November Read
The Book Circle: Heart or Head? | November Read
A book. A film. A friendly debate. 📖☕️
Your heart says yes. Your head has questions. What happens when following one means disappointing someone else?
This November, we’re exploring The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller, alongside its film adaptation starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood.
Join us for an afternoon of coffee, tea, and conversations that might change how you see the story—and each other.
📖 From page to screen
We’ll revisit the story, explore book and film reviews, and watch selected scenes from the adaptation before opening the conversation. Bring a passage, a question, or a reaction you’d like to share.
💬 What’s your take?
• Can love justify breaking a promise?
• Is staying for family devotion—or fear of change?
• Do we owe more to our happiness or our commitments?
• Would you judge differently if the roles were reversed?
• Does the way a story is told change whose side you take?
Expect small-group conversations, an “agree, disagree, or it depends” round, and room to listen, contribute, and change your mind.
🌏 Our discussions will be mainly in English, and you’re welcome to read either edition. You don’t need to be fluent—the host can support you in following the conversation and expressing your thoughts.
It’s a relaxed opportunity to practise English, meet fellow readers, and discover different perspectives. Take your time, ask questions, and share what you think. Your ideas matter more than perfect grammar.
