Coming This Fall: Classics Book Club at Trumbull Library
Ever wanted to revisit a classic you read in school—or finally tackle one you've always meant to read? Join us for the new Classics Book Club, meeting Saturday mornings this fall at 10am in the Kiwanis Room. Meetings to be held: September 20, October 18, November 15, and December 13.

September's book will be The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.

In Gilded Age New York, Newland Archer is a young lawyer engaged to the charming but conventional May Welland. His world is upended by the arrival of May’s cousin, the scandalous and independent Countess Ellen Olenska. As he is drawn to Ellen’s spirit and intellect, Newland must choose between passion and the rigid expectations of high society. Edith Wharton’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a quietly devastating portrait of love, duty, and the constraints of a vanishing world.

A limited number of copies just for our book club will be set aside behind the circulation desk, starting August 15th. Stop in after August 15th and ask for a copy! This book is also available as an ebook and eaudiobook through the Libby app, as well as in Large Print, Audiobook CD and regular text in the general collection at the Trumbull Library.
