Trust by Hernan Diaz
The Gallery at White Flint, 11710 Old Georgetown Road, Rockville, MD, USJoin the North Bethesda Fiction Readers in a discussion of Hernan Diaz's Trust on Martin Luther King Jr Holiday, Monday, January 19. Kirkus Reviews describes the novel as "a tale of wealth, love, and madness told in four distinct but connected narratives." We will meet in the common area of a condominium association. I will send more detailed information to registrants about how to find us. (The concierge will not likely be helpful.) If the common area is not attractive to us, we will meet in the organizer's apartment. There is metered parking on the street; however, because of the holiday, you do not have to feed the meter

North Woods by Daniel Mason
The Gallery at White Flint, 11710 Old Georgetown Road, Rockville, MD, USNorth Bethesda Fiction Readers, put your hold on this book NOW if you get your books from a public library. It's still in demand. It was a finalist for the National Book Critics Award for Fiction in 2023. The novel tells the story of a single house in New England over centuries. While on its face, it is a work of historical fiction, Kirkus Reviews calls it "magical."
We will meet in the common area of a condominium association that is called The Gallery at White Flint. The organizer will greet everyone at the entrance. If the seating at the fireplace across from the main entrance is not appealing, we will convene in the organizer's unit. Look for a message a week before the date of discussion for more details on how to find us. There is metered parking across the street. Because February 16 is a national holiday, you don't have to feed the meter.5 attendees
