Singer Marguerite has launched a new Book Club in partnership with Fnac, a well-known French retail chain. The initiative, which will begin in early October, was announced during an event where Marguerite also celebrated Thélyson Orélien, the winner of the 25th Fnac Novel Prize for 2026. As the prize's ambassador, Marguerite shared personal memories of visiting the Fnac store in Ternes every Sunday during her childhood, highlighting her deep connection to books and reading.
Marguerite praised C’était ça ou mourir, Thélyson Orélien’s winning novel, calling it a "public utility story" that vividly portrays the "violent reality of migration paths." The Book Club will be closely tied to the release of Marguerite’s debut album, Guérir, set to come out on October 2, 2026, under the label Columbia. This collaboration between her music and the literary event aims to bring together fans and literature enthusiasts.
Fnac has stated that participation in the Book Club will be limited, with spots allocated based on the order of registration. According to the Fnac website, pre-ordering Marguerite’s album is a prerequisite for securing a pass to the event. However, Marguerite has not yet shared specific details about the format or content of the meetings, leaving much to be revealed as the event approaches.
The partnership between Marguerite and Fnac reflects a growing trend of celebrities engaging with cultural and literary initiatives. By combining her music with a literary event, Marguerite aims to create a unique experience for her audience, offering them a chance to explore both her artistry and the themes presented in C’était ça ou mourir.
