Well there are 7 titles on www.alevelfrench.com so I thought to balance things up I'd better add another book to make 8. I chose Le Blé en Herbe as I did kind of commit myself to the Welsh board a while back. I read this book ages ago but haven't ever done it with a class. So yet another summer romance by a young writer. Colette's life story is fascinating as is that of Françoise Sagan-either would make excellent studies for AQA. Colette's life style makes your eyes water and apparently Le Blé was published as a serial and was a scandal. Certainly from what I've read of Colette the sensuality of Le Blé is very strong for the 20's. I've finished what is possibly one of the most useful parts for teachers, the vocab list, yet another 20 hours of hard work but haven' started the summary yet. I love the role nature plays in the novel-I've never had to look up so many words for types of flower, fish and tree. I'll report back soon-would I study the book? Yes, I think so if I was study the author too. So this should be on the site within the next fortnight then I'm concentrating on the AS level developments.
