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 Charlotte McConaghy's "Wild Dark Shore"

We'll meet on Monday, October 26 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.

Isola, by Allegra Goodman

Monday, December 07 at 7:30 PM

Our next book, Isola, by Allegra Goodman, which coincidentally also centers on an island, but an historical novel in the 16th century. Amazon calls it "a young woman and her lovers marooned on an island in this lushly painted epic of love, faith, and defiance." Reese Witherspoon made it her monthly pick, and, at 384 pages, it became a national bestseller in 2025.
