Talk Party with Margaret Oertig
at the Bergli Bookshop
Do you think your children are getting a good education in Switzerland? How does it differ from the country you come from? Come along and tell us what you think and learn how to get the most out of the Swiss school system as well as avoiding the common pit-falls. Margaret Oertig is the author of Beyond Chocolate - understanding Swiss culture. Those of you who have attended previous events with her know how skilled she is in conveying important observations of international communication.
Britain’s former prime minister is holed up in a remote, ocean-front house in America, struggling to finish his memoirs, when his long-term assistant drowns. A professional ghostwriter is sent out to rescue the project – a man more used to working with fading rock stars and minor celebrities than ex-world leaders. The ghost soon discovers that his distinguished new client has secrets in his past that are returning to haunt him – secrets with the power to kill. The discussion will be led by Mary Hogan.
*We recommend that you read the book in advance of the discussion group.
