SUMMARY:International Book Group – Ali & Nino: A Love Story by Kurban Said
DESCRIPTION:The International Book Group at West Falmouth Library is a volunteer-led group that meets on the first Wednesday of each month 3:45-5 p.m. Selections have either foreign settings or foreign authors, usually both. New members are always welcome! Annual registration is requested to receive important communications about schedule or location changes; register below. Meetings are both in-person and on Zoom.\nThe Wednesday, December 2 meeting will discuss Ali & Nino: A Love Story by Kurban Said. From the author of The Girl from the Golden Horn, a novel of the enduring love between childhood friends divided by war & their separate cultures. First published in Vienna in 1937, this classic story of romance and adventure has been compared to Dr. Zhivago and Romeo and Juliet. Ali and Nino is Kurban Said’s masterpiece. It is a captivating novel as evocative of the exotic desert landscape as it is of the passion between two people pulled apart by culture, religion, and war.\n“One feels as if one had dug up buried treasure…one feels completely caught up in the novel’s exotic setting…an epic of cultural change that seems more immediate than this morning’s headlines.” —The New York Times\n“Poignant and beautiful…alive with a vividly unique vision of colliding culture and enduring love.” —Newsweek\nRegister Here\nThe Fall 2026 – Spring 2027 discussion schedule is as follows:\n\n\n\n9/2/2026\nThe Stationery Shop\nMarjan Kamali\nIran\n\n\n\n10/7/2026\nDeath in Sicily\nAndrea Camilleri\nSicily\n\n\n\n11/4/2026\nMona’s Eyes\nThomas Schlesser\nFrance\n\n\n\n12/2/2026\nAli and Nino: A Love Story\nKurban Said\nAzerbaijan\n\n\n\n1/6/2027\nCovenience Store Woman\nSayaka Murata\nJapan\n\n\n\n2/3/2027\nClear: A Novel\nCarys Davies\nScotland\n\n\n\n3/3/2027\nThe Rarest Fruit\nGaelle Belem\nReunion Island\n\n\n\n4/7/2027\nSay Nothing: A True Story\nPatrick O’Keefe\nIreland\n\n\n\n5/5/2027\nFresh Water for Flowers\nValerie Perrin\nFrance\n\n\n\n6/2/2027\nThe Shadow King\nMaaza Mengiste\nEthiopia\n\n\n\n\n
