The Reading List

*A finalist in the Goodreads Choice Awards for Fiction 2021!*

‘The story is an absolute joy . . . A captivating and exquisitely crafted debut’bestseller, HEIDI SWAINSunday Times

‘A love letter to books, reading and the power of connection – absolutely gorgeous’ bestseller, RUTH WARESunday Times

When Aleisha discovers a crumpled reading list tucked into a tattered library book, it sparks an extraordinary journey.

From timeless stories of love and friendship to an epic journey across the Pacific Ocean with a boy and a tiger in a boat, the list opens a gateway to new and wonderful worlds – just when Aleisha needs an escape from her troubles at home.

And when widower Mukesh arrives at the library, desperate to connect with his bookworm granddaughter, Aleisha introduces him to the magic of the reading list. An anxious teenager and a lonely grandfather forming an unlikely book club of two.

Inspiring and heartwarming, is a love letter to storytelling – its power to transport us, connect us, and remind us that a new beginning is only a page away…The Reading List

Good HousekeepingA real heart-lifter . . . . A joyful, uplifting read’

Red‘A gorgeous debut novel about the power reading has to bring people together, no matter the barriers of age, culture and class’

A new chapter is just beginning…

My goodness! This is an amazing book. It is simple, yet so emotional and cozy at the same time! I literally am trying not to cry at this moment, sitting at a quiet spot in the uni library. Please, whatever you do… read this book when you are lonely. People care.
