Byram Shubert Library Community Room
This month’s book is “Silence” by Shusaku Endo.
Thirty years ago the Japanese novelist Shusaku Endo published Silence, a novel meant to tell the story of missionaries in 17th-century Japan, whose efforts were subject to fierce repression, through a story that concretely examines the nature of faith, of loyalty under extreme duress to Jesus and His Church, and therefore of martyrdom.
International Book Club is in associtaion with Alliance Françasie, Greenwich.
