AF Chapters Discuss the Federation's OBOF Selection

“Quels secrets cache l’ombre du jacaranda . . . ? »

This key question, raised by Jacaranda, the 2026 Federation OBOF choice, is being addressed by the book groups of several small chapters. The prestigious Prix Renaudot top prize winner in 2024, Jacaranda addresses the difficult history of Rwanda seen through the eyes of French Rwandan teenage émigré. Earlier OBOF selections are also being discussed.
