Trinity’s Book Club will meet on Wednesday, January 29 at 11:30am in the Living Room. We will discuss “Giants in the Earth” by O.E. Rolvaag. As reviewed by Goodreads,

“Giants in the Earth (Norwegian: Verdens Grøde) is a novel by Norwegian-American author Ole Edvart Rølvaag. First published in Norwegian as two books in 1924 and 1925, the English edition was translated by the author and Lincoln Colcord.
Part of a trilogy, the novel follows a Norwegian pioneer family’s struggles with the land and the elements of the Dakota Territory as they try to make a new life in America. The book is based partly on Rølvaag’s personal experiences as a settler, and on the experiences of his wife’s family who had been immigrant homesteaders. The novel depicts snow storms, locusts, poverty, hunger, loneliness, homesickness, the difficulty of fitting into a new culture, and the estrangement of immigrant children who grow up in a new land.”

All are welcome to join us, whether or not you’ve read the book.
