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 The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride.
We'll meet on Monday, April 14 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.

The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride
Our next selection is The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride, the author of The Color of Water and The Good Lord Bird. The novel tells the story of Black and Jewish residents of the Chicken Hill neighborhood of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, in the 1920s and '30s. The New York Times said, "By showcasing neighbors misunderstanding neighbors, McBride shines a light on how communities in America are at times walled apart by difference, even in intimate relationships."
