IHSM Future Book Club books
Tuesday, March 18, 2025, 6;30-8:30 pm; Intermezzo by Sally Rooney (released 9/24/24; 464 pp). Our group read her novel Normal People in July 2020. This has been described as an exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family—but especially about love. Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties, successful and competent, but in the wake of his father’s death, he’s medicating himself and struggling to manage relationships with two very different women. Ivan is a 22-year-old competitive chess player and has always seen himself as socially awkward and a loner. In the wake of his father’s death he meets an older woman and their lives become intertwined. For the two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude. (Book recommended by Maureen Moore)

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. (Book recommended by Brenda Prokop)

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.
