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 Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton

We'll meet on Monday, September 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 Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton

Monday, September 14 at 7:30 p.m.

The Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton is our gracious, last-minute selection for this year. Of the protagonist,Undine Spragg, Amazon writes, "She is dazzling, unstoppable, and dangerously charming. From New York to Paris, Undine Spragg’s rise through high society is as breathtaking as it is scandalous." That sounds pretty vixen!
