Welcome to a very special book club - where stories are shared, secrets kept, and friendships found.
Howard, newly retired to Dorset, joins because he can't sleep; the weekly sessions give him an opportunity to connect. Margot logs in only after her husband's fallen asleep - her life has grown small, and the club is the one place she can still be herself. And on the other side of the world, Faye joins to escape her sister's latest crisis and feel, for an hour, that she belongs somewhere.
For each of them, the book club is more than a hobby - it's a lifeline.
So when Howard suddenly disappears from the meetings, everything changes. Determined to be there for their friend, Faye and Margot must step out of their own troubled lives and travel to Dorset - where the truth behind Howard's silence may turn out to be the most unexpected story of all...
A warm-hearted and gripping story from bestselling author Helen Rolfe that will captivate fans of Lucy Diamond, Cathy Bramley and Jessica Redland.
