Why a Booktrail?
2025: Life can begin with a single story. You just have to Bring Your Own Book…
The Forgotten Book Club
What you need to know before your trail
For three decades, Grace supported her husband Frank’s passion for books, despite not being a reader herself. Since his passing, their shelves echo longingly, and Grace’s heartache has only grown.
When Grace’s grandson suggests joining Frank’s old book club to feel closer to him again, Grace reluctantly agrees. Yet, upon arrival, she discovers this isn’t a typical book club: here, members settle in for an hour of reading… in silence.
Disappointed by the sparse attendance and confused by the lack of chatter, Grace flees. But when fellow member, Annie, convinces her to stay, Grace is determined to ensure that neither Frank – nor his beloved book club – are forgotten.
And as she breathes new life into the group, Grace might just find this is where she truly belongs. Because this next chapter of life could just be the beginning of her story…

Silent book club
Location is not a huge part of the book but Scadbury and a bit of London are where it’s at – the bookshop is sadly fictional but it feel and looks very real when you read about it. This is about the places and locations books give you wherever you are.
If ever there was a book to show you just how books can heal the soul – this is it.
Grace’s husband Frank dies after a 46 years of marriage. So, Grace joins his book club to stay close to him. When she starts to read and reflect on his reviews, his love of books and what he loved to read, she finds out so much more about him than she could ever have hoped for.
Booktrailer Review
Moving!
Imagine you lose someone dear to you and through their books and book reviews, you get to know them on a whole other level. This is a book about the power of books and their emotional reach and it’s sad but also very hopeful. Lots of bookish charm wrapped up in a thought provoking story that will touch you.
