Trinity Book Club: The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell

(In person only; moderated by Mary Ann Rudy) Join us for a discussion of Mary Doria Russell's novel, The Sparrow, in the Stearns Library. 

A visionary work that combines speculative fiction with deep philosophical inquiry, The Sparrow tells the story of a charismatic Jesuit priest and linguist, Emilio Sandoz, who leads a scientific mission entrusted with a profound task: to make first contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life. The mission begins in faith, hope, and beauty, but a series of small misunderstandings brings it to a catastrophic end.

The Trinity Book Club meets the last Sunday of every month. Join us as we discuss a wide variety of books for every taste & preference!
