The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman – Julietta Henderson
Book Synopsis
One of the most unusual novels we’ve ever recommended for the Silversurfers Book Club.
The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman grabs you by the arm from page one and refuses to let go. It’s a beautifully written, warm-hearted, tragi-comic story about love. The love of a single, undeniably feckless mother for her 12-year-old fatherless son. His love for her, for jokes, and for his friend and putative comedy partner Jax, who quietly dies in the very first chapter.
That’s the thing about this book. One moment it makes you laugh out loud; turn the page and you’re dashing away a tear. Quite an achievement for a debut novelist.
The Push – Ashley Audrain
Book Synopsis
Ever been at the end of your tether with a very naughty child and wondered if it’s your awful parenting – or was the kid just born bad? Blythe Connor knows bad mothers run in her family, so is she imagining her daughter has psychopathic tendencies, or is Violet a “bad seed”? A tense and terrific psychological family drama.
I Have Something To Tell You by Susan Lewis
Book Synopsis
Would you believe a man who said he was watching TV and didn’t hear a thing when his wife was murdered upstairs? The police don’t, but highflying lawyer Jessica Wells risks her perfect life – good marriage, lovely family, successful career – to defend him. A compelling story of betrayal, love, grief and desperation.
The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah
Book Synopsis
Texas, 1934. Elsa Martinelli had finally found the life she’d yearned for. A family, a home and a livelihood on a farm on the Great Plains. But when drought threatens all she and her community hold dear, Elsa’s world is shattered to the winds.
Fearful of the future, when Elsa wakes to find her husband has fled, she is forced to make the most agonizing decision of her life. Fight for the land she loves or take her beloved children, Loreda and Ant, west to California in search of a better life. Will it be the land of milk and honey? Or will their experience challenge every ounce of strength they possess?
From the overriding love of a mother for her child, the value of female friendship and the ability to love again – against all odds – Elsa’s incredible journey is a story of survival, hope and what we do for the ones we love.
The Killing Kind by Jane Casey
Book Synopsis
Ingrid Lewis is a young ambitious barrister facing terrible danger from a man she successfully defended on a stalking charge. He becomes obsessed with Lewis, sinisterly harassing her, burning down her house, ruining her relationship and finally resorting to murder. Exciting, tense and extremely gripping, this is a first-class legal thriller. Truly excellent.
The Twins by L.V. Matthews
Book Synopsis
Margo and Cora could hardly be more different. Margo is shy, nervous, and solitary, working as a live-in nanny for a wealthy London family. Cora is louche, promiscuous, cynical and bursting with confidence and ambition as a professional dancer. Yet they are twins – identical twins. Why have they grown up so very far apart? The answer to that – a terrible shared secret from childhood – is the ghost that haunts this fabulous story.
