We can’t believe it has been ten years since we embarked on this journey together - surely none of us look old enough, but clearly time flies when you’re having fun.
#BOOK CLUB QUESTIONS THE SILENT PATIENT PLUS#
It has been our absolute pleasure to work with Richard and Judy since 2010, creating an inclusive and revered book club that has been a platform for so many novelists who have gone on to become bestsellers and award-winners. So, youve started your book club, youve bought enough wine to satisfy even your thirstiest pals, plus plenty of cheesy snacks.Now comes the difficult partshaping your friendly chatter into an elevated, incisive conversation about the book you all agreed to read. One day she unexpectedly shoots her husband, Gabriel, five times in the face and then never speaks again. The Silent Patient is about a woman named Alicia Berenson, a famous painter. Going into the novel, Id only read a basic description. From a razor-sharp thriller by a debut author who’s found a new way to surprise us, to a remarkable piece of historical fiction from an established author Richard and Judy have made it their mission to choose books that felt special and exciting to them, and that’s what has made this book club so unique and accessible for all. The description of the book sounded interesting enough, but I didnt think thrillers were my thing. With books hand-picked by our favourite book-loving couple from their own reading piles, the Richard and Judy Book Club has always had a unique ability to uncover stories that have an enormous impact on readers. In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of The Richard and Judy Book Club with WHSmith, the pair behind a decade of outstanding recommendations have selected some of their favourite, stand-out titles from the past decade.
