Queen Mathilde also recommended the “wonderful book” by Belgian author Colette Nys-Mazure “Celebration of Everyday Life”, which “invites us to appreciate the little things in life”. “I hope that his positive vision will appeal to you as much as it has appealed to me,” she said.
Finally, among Queen Mathilde’s favorite works, there is also “Les Amnésiques” by Géraldine Schwarzle. Awarded the European Book Prize in 2018, the work of the Franco-German author “invites us to think about questions such as collective guilt or memory”.
The three books thus selected by Queen Mathilde “stimulate reflection, understanding and appreciation of the world around us”, comments the Royal Palace.
On the occasion of Reading Week, which will take place this year from November 16 to 24, Queen Mathilde will participate in a reading aloud session. An additional opportunity for the “enthusiastic reader” that the Queen is to “promote reading among children and adults”, underlines the Palace.
