The Lonely Hearts Book Club

by Lucy Gilmore Narrated by Angie Kane

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

This big-hearted novel is a love-letter to readers and the books we hold dear. A quirky cast of characters, their unlikely friendships and witty literary asides — what more could a booklover ask for? Perfect for fans of A Man Called Ove and The Art of Racing in the Rain.

Sloane Parker lives a small, contained life as a librarian in her small, contained town. She never thinks of herself as lonely...but still she looks forward to that time every day when old curmudgeon Arthur McLachlan comes to browse the shelves and cheerfully insult her. Their sparring is such a highlight of Sloane's day that when Arthur doesn't show up one morning, she's instantly concerned. And then another day passes, and another. Anxious, Sloane tracks the old man down only to discover him all but bedridden...and desperately struggling to hide how happy he is to see her. Wanting to bring more cheer into Arthur's gloomy life, Sloane creates an impromptu book club. Slowly, the lonely misfits of their sleepy town begin to find each other and, in their book club, the joy of unlikely friendship-because, as it turns out, everyone has a special book in their heart...and a reason to get lost (and eventually found) within the pages.
