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 Tom Lake, by Ann Patchett
We'll meet on Monday, June 23 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.

Tom Lake, by Ann Patchett
We have just one title remaining before the start of vacation, Tom Lake, the 302 page gem by Ann Patchett, who's previously given us Bel Canto, Commonwealth, and The Dutch House. We settled on Monday, June 23rd for that.
Washington Post commented, "Tom Lakeis about romantic love, marital love and maternal love, but also the love of animals, the love of stories, love of the land and trees and the tiny, red, cordiform object that is a cherry. . . . This generous writer hits the mark again with her ninth novel." Audible followers should note that Meryl Streep does the audio version of the book.
