This December, join us for a festive evening at the Narva American Space Book Club as we dive into Charles Dickens’ timeless classic A Christmas Carol. The meeting will take place on December 15, 2025, from 17:00 to 18:30 at the Narva Central Library (Malmi 8), bringing together readers for a warm and engaging literary discussion. Why is an American Spaces Book Club reading a British classic? Because Dickens’ A Christmas Carol has become a cornerstone of American holiday traditions. From Hollywood films to Broadway adaptations, this timeless tale of redemption, generosity, and the spirit of the season has profoundly influenced U.S. culture and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. Through Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformative journey, Dickens reminds us of the enduring power of compassion and community. These themes are as relevant today as they were in Victorian England, making this story a perfect way to reflect on the values we share across cultures.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or meeting Scrooge for the first time, this book club promises an evening of thoughtful discussion, holiday cheer, and a celebration of the universal messages that connect us all.
Don’t miss your chance to explore this classic tale and connect with fellow readers at the American Spaces Monthly Book Club. Whatever happens to be on our reading list for the month -- the discussion and your different points of view make it always unforgettable. You are welcome to read the stories in any language that is convenient for you, but please note that our discussions will be held in English.
The Book Club will be hosted by Catherine Sorokin, a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant with a passion for language learning and cultural exchange. Catherine grew up in Connecticut and has lived in Vermont, London, and most recently Astana, Kazakhstan. She holds a degree in International and Global Studies, with a focus on history, language, and geography. Catherine is excited to help participants improve their English while fostering meaningful conversations about literature.
