The Book Club book
Writers & Lovers is a clever, sophisticated story - both an enjoyable literary romcom and a touching depiction of the grief of losing a parent.
At thirty-one, all her friends are getting married and having kids, but Casey is dealing with the grief of the death of her mother, while being in debt, working at a restaurant and struggling with finishing her first novel.
Then she meets Silas who is nice, attractive and interested in her. Could he be her future? Or will it be the older, interesting but complicated Oscar? Suddenly Casey finds herself torn between two very different futures . . .
‘Exquisite . . . A warm and buoyant romance’ – The Sunday Telegraph
‘Delightful . . . Warm, funny and sharply observed’ – Daily Mail
‘Infused with tenderness and wry wit’ – The Irish Times
‘Romantic and funny . . . Wonderfully life-affirming’ – Daily Express
Geoff says: "This is very clever - a typical romance narrative but written with real sophistication and literary quality. It's an exploration of perseverance and courage, despite things being against us. This best-selling novel from 2020 has recently been followed up by Lily King with the sequel "Heart The Lover".
