Book Clubs

A list of library books helps forge an unlikely friendship between two very different people in a London suburb. When Aleisha, a bright but anxious teenager working at the local library for the summer discovers a crumpled list of novels she’s never heard of before, she impulsively decides to read every book on the list. As each story gives up its magic, the books transport Aleisha from the painful realities she’s facing at home.

Aleisha passes along the reading list to widower Mukesh…hoping that it will be a lifeline for him too. Slowly, the shared books create a connection between two lonely souls, as fiction helps them escape their grief and everyday troubles and find joy again.
