The Book Club: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist

Product Information

Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. What better book to read for a book club than one that explores the idiosyncrasies of the English language? This is a fresh and witty story about finding your voice. One of the most popular book club books of 2020 was The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, which took an in-depth look at race, family and fate. If you enjoyed that one (which I hope you did because I loved it), be sure to add What’s Mine and Yours to your book club list. What’s Mine and Yours by Naima Coster focuses on legacy, identity and how race affects relationships. Here’s the synopsis: Meanwhile in present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, running from her own demons. When she stumbles upon a clue to the unsolved apothecary murders that haunted London two hundred years ago, her life collides with the apothecary’s in a stunning twist of fate—and not everyone will survive.

How can she, plain Jane, ever measure up? And can she win Eddie’s heart before her past––or his––catches up to her? While Madame plots her last hurrah, stories that span generations—from the big house to out in the fields—of routine horrors, secrets buried as deep as the family fortune, and the tangled bonds of descendants and enslaved. There are no easy answers to be found, and Betty’s search for them leads her to Michael, the brother of the shooter. But this path only shows Betty one thing: that everything she thought she knew—about herself, about the world around her—can change in a heartbeat. Though this book club is ideal for introverts, that’s not to say it isn’t social. Silent Book Club is all about community. They think it’s important to put down our phones and be “real, live, breathing-the-same-air social”. Sure, nobody’s forcing you to make small talk over a glass of wine, but you can sit with a book and a friend in a cafe, and if you want to chat about what you’re reading — go for it! But farm life is not easy for a cultured city girl who dreams of becoming a doctor like her father, and Nico’s provincial neighbors are wary of this soft and educated woman they do not know.
