Burning Books
The Trinity book club, called Burning Books, meets at members’ homes throughout the year to read books selected by the group and enjoy each other’s company. All interested readers are welcome to join the group. You do not need to be a member of the parish to join Burning Books, and you do not need to finish the book to attend the discussion.
Our next selection is Edith Wharton's Summer
We'll meet on Monday, September 8 at 7:30 p.m.
Other books we have read recently include “Naming Names” by Victor Navasky, a winner of the National Book Award. The New York Times wrote, “The moral issues raised by the Hollywood blacklist remain fearfully complex, and Victor Navasky confronts them with almost exquisite precision.

Edith Wharton's Summer
Monday, September 8 at 7:30 p.m.
Our final selection is Edith Wharton's Summer which may not be her best, but her shortest (anywhere from 108 to 150 pp) and still an interesting read. Amazon writes, "Considered to be one of her finest works, Edith Wharton’s Summer created a shocking sensation when it was first published in 1917, as it was one of the first novels to ever honestly deal with a young woman’s sexual awakening."
