The Book Club book

Twenty-five year old Libby Jones finds out some news that changes how she sees herself - the news of her birth parents, and that she has been left a huge mansion next to the River Thames in London’s fashionable Chelsea.  Everything in Libby’s life is on the point of changing.  But others have also been waiting for this day too...

This is a dramatic story of different families living in one house with some very dark secrets.
