  St. Anne's Women's Book Discussion Group   will read the book  Everyday Saints  for their next meeting  on April 22

More than a million copies and several million electronic versions of this book have sold in less than a year. Everyday Saints is the English translation of the work that has soared at the top of the bestseller lists in Russia since its publication in late 2011. Winner of several national awards including "Book of the Year", its readership spans philosophical boundaries, from the devoutly religious to the vehemently atheist. Surpassing all competition many times over, it was voted the most popular book in Russia for 2012.

St. Anne’s Bookstore has copies of the book available to purchase. Plan to join the discussion next month!
