The Forgotten Book Club

Life can begin with a single story. You just have to Bring Your Own Book…

For three decades, Grace supported her husband Frank’s passion for books, even though her own love for literature paled in comparison. Since his passing, the shelves echo longingly, and Grace's heartache has only grown.

When Grace’s grandson suggests joining Frank’s old book club, she hesitates. How could meeting with a bunch of strangers possibly fill the void he left behind? Despite her doubts – and desperate to feel close to Frank again – Grace decides to attend.

Yet, upon arrival, Grace is puzzled to find this isn’t your typical book club: here, you settle in for an hour of silent reading. Disappointed by the sparse attendance and confused by the lack of chatter she flees. But when equally lonely member, Annie, convinces her to stay, Grace is determined to ensure that neither Frank – nor his beloved book club – are forgotten.

And as she breathes new life into the group, she might just find this is where she truly belongs. Because this next chapter of life could just be the beginning of her story…

The perfect story for book lovers everywhere. Ideal for fans of Sally Page and Evie Woods.

Hello and welcome to my page! I’ve had a life-long obsession with books, studying English at university and going on to become an English teacher. With that background, it felt natural to me to write novels in different genres. I hope you enjoy my uplifting books about books, The Memory Library and The Forgotten Book Club, written as Kate Storey. I write family dramas as Lisa Timoney, and The Daughter She Gave Away is available to preorder now. If you like psychological thrillers with a twist, The Woman in Ward 9, written uder the name Naomi Williams might be for you. I live in the London suburbs with my husband and daughters, popping home to my native Yorkshire whenever I get the chance.
