A new chapter is just beginning. . . ' The story is an absolute joy . . . A captivating and exquisitely crafted debut' Sunday Times bestseller, Heidi Swain ' Absolutely captures the magic of reading and libraries' Louise Hare Widower Mukesh lives a quiet life after the loss of his wife Naina. He shops every Wednesday, goes to Temple, and worries about his disinterested granddaughter, Priya, who tucks herself away reading whilst he watches David Attenborough. Aleisha is working at the local library on Harrow Road for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-up piece of paper in the back of To Kill A Mockingbird with a list of books that she' s never heard of before - let alone read. In turn, each story on the reading list gives up its magic, transporting Aleisha away from the painful realities she' s facing at home. And when Mukesh arrives at the library, desperate to forge a connection with his bookworm of a granddaughter, Aleisha discovers that the reading list will be a lifeline for him too. And so begins a new chapter between two lonely souls, who' ll learn that fiction can teach them a whole lot about real life. . .

If you love crying with sadness, crying with happiness, and feeling like you have been wrapped in the blanket of someone else' s life, read this' Debbie Johnson' The Reading List absolutely captures the magic of reading and of libraries. I felt a part of Mukesh and Aleisha' s book club, revisiting some of my favourite novels alongside these new friends' Louise Hare' A spellbinding novel about friendship, loss, community and the power of reading. A stunning debut that broke my heart and put it back together again' Radiya Hafiza' A wonderful read . . . showcases quite beautifully the fundamental power of books to lift our lives from the mundane and transform them into something truly magical' Imogen Clark' Compassion, humour and intelligence shine through on every page of this wonderful novel.
