TRINITY WOMENS’ BOOK CLUB
Trinity Womens’ Book Club invites you to our next meeting on Monday, November
29th at 7:00 PM in the Parlor. Please note the DATE CHANGE
from 11/22! We are an easy going group who enjoy reading and discussing books over
light refreshments. All women are welcome! This month we will review the book, The
Lady's Maid by Margaret Forster. An editorial review from Publisher's Weekly
states, "British novelist Forster lures the reader into the attic of the famous
house on Wimpole Street, where Elizabeth Barrett's maid, Elizabeth Wilson, composes
copious letters to her mother in the North Country. Her correspondence, the fulcrum
of the novel, describes her daily experiences, her impressions of the large household
and, especially, her sickly but charismatic mistress. Wilson's devotion is such
that she forsakes her homeland, her family, a suitor and even her own reputation
in order to aid Miss Elizabeth and her suitor Mr. Browning when they elope to Europe.
Questions, call Vicki Hamill at 936.483.6106.
