Tuesday, May 20, 2025, 6:30-8:30 pm; Carnegie’s Maid by Marie Benedict (pen name of Heather Terrell whose ancestors came to Pittsburgh from Ireland) © 2018; 288 pp. Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She’s not the experienced Irish maid who was hired to work in one of Pittsburgh’s grandest households. She’s a poor farmer’s daughter with nowhere to go and nothing in her pockets. But the woman who shares her name has vanished, and assuming her identity just might get Clara some money to send back home. With captivating insight and heart, Carnegie’s Maid is a book of fascinating 19th century historical fiction. Discover the story of one brilliant woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie’s transformation from ruthless industrialist to the world’s first true philanthropist.

Tuesday, July 15, 2025, 6:30-8:30 pm; Time of the Child by Niall Williams, released Nov. 19, 2024; 304 pp. From the author of This Is Happiness (which we read in May 2020), this is a compassionate, life-affirming novel about the Christmas season that transforms the small Irish town of Faha. Set over the course of December 1962 in the same small village as in his previous novel, Williams tells the tale of Doctor Jack Troy and his eldest daughter Ronnie whose lives are turned upside down when a baby is left in their care.
