Silversurfers Book Club Autumn 2016
Welcome to the Silversurfers Book Club!
Each season we share a selection of popular book titles and new releases which you may like to read. You can choose to read them on a tablet or an actual paperback, and you can read them in your own time. As and when you are ready, it would be great if you could write a review of the book at the bottom of our comments section and share your feedback with all who have read and reviewed them on Silversurfers. There’s nothing like a recommendation from a friend.
Below are six suggested titles to kick off the new Autumn 2016 Silversurfers Book Club Season… Simply select the title you would like to read, and if you would like to buy it or download it for your Kindle or other tablet, there is a link next to the book title, which will direct you to Amazon, making it simple for you to buy. Alternatively, you may wish to buy the book elsewhere, or borrow it from you local library.
SIMPLY CLICK ON THE IMAGE OF THE BOOK YOU FANCY AND YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE BOOK ON AMAZON … most titles are under £4.00 to purchase and less on a Kindle!
If you have previously read another book, and would like to recommend it as a future read for the Silversurfers book club, feel free to leave the title and author in the comments section, with a brief synopsis, and your review.
Missing Presumed by Susie Steiner – Available from Amazon >>

Edith Hind is gone, leaving just her coat, a smear of blood and a half-open door. Each of her friends and relatives has a version of the truth. But none quite adds up. The press grows hungrier by the day. Can DS Manon Bradshaw fend them off, before a missing persons case becomes a murder investigation?
The Loving Husband by Christobel Kent – Available from Amazon >>

Fran Hall and her husband Nathan have moved with their two children to a farmhouse on the edge of the Fens – a chance to get away from London and have a fresh start. But when Fran wakes one night to find Nathan gone, she makes a devastating discovery. As questions about her husband and her relationships start to mount, Fran’s life begins to spiral out of control. What is she hiding from the police about her marriage, and does she really know the man she shared her bed with?
The Widow by Fiona Barton – Available from Amazon >>
Book Synopsis
Jean Taylor’s life was blissfully ordinary. Nice house, nice husband. Glen was all she’d ever wanted: her Prince Charming. Until he became that man accused, that monster on the front page.

Jean Taylor is going to tell us what she knows.
The Ballroom by Anna Hope – Available from Amazon >>

Inside an asylum at the edge of the Yorkshire moors, where men and women are kept apart by high walls and barred windows, there is a ballroom vast and beautiful.

Set over the heatwave summer of 1911, the end of the Edwardian era, The Ballroom is a historical love story.
Circling the Sun by Paula McLain – Available from Amazon >>

She was a daughter of Edwardian England, transplanted to Kenya as a young girl by parents who dreamed of life on an African farm.

Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz – Available from Amazon >>

As a boy Evan Smoak was chosen, then taken from the orphanage he called home.

Someone who knows he was once known simply as Orphan X.

I liked the way Evan went from only thinking of himself, to being soft centered and caring for other people, to the detriment of himself really.
Can't wait for the second book
Last Voyages by Nicholas Grey. The Lives and Tragic Loss of Remarkable Sailors who died on their last voyage, including the famous Eric Tabarly. Not fiction!

I found a book in the charity 20p box. A true story about the prisoners of war in Japan. It is called The Blue Door. Absolutely riveting
Sorry forgot to note the name of Author who is also the person who lived through this story and survived to write it.
Goggle no doubt will have name of Author.
Has anyone read Girl On A Train. If not. Don't bother.
Cheers Pamella
