@byamberburns #AD We all know Target is the best place on earth, but did you know they have a bookclub? If you love reading as much as I do, you know it can be hard to keep up with all of the great reads out there. With Target Book Club, you can discover new books every month for all ages with adult and YA book picks. All of the books are hand selected and have something different to offer. For my picks, I wanted to check out some new to me authors so I grabbed All the Lonely People by Mike Gayle and The Silence that Binds Us by Joanna Ho. I love more emotional, hard hitting YA that makes you feel all of the things. Make your next Target run even better and join me in the #TargetBookClub. https://liketk.it/3PgWY #Target #Books #Bookstagram #TargetPartner

@thesunalsoreads Hello my friends! Did you know that Target has their own book club? They feature monthly, handpicked titles for all ages. This month I had the chance to read two books from their Adult and Young Adult Book Club sections: “The Silence that Binds Us” by Joanna Ho and “All The Lonely People” by Mike Gayle. Both novels left me somewhat misty eyed, but with a renewed sense of faith in our communities. I can’t wait to read what Target picks out next month! If you’re looking for handpicked books that will make you laugh, cry, and learn something new, Target’s book club is for you. Discover stories you love with Target.

About this item

Description

If you loved A Man Called Ove, then prepare to be delighted as Jamaican immigrant Hubert rediscovers the world he'd turned his back on this "warm, funny" novel (Good Housekeeping).

In weekly phone calls to his daughter in Australia, widower Hubert Bird paints a picture of the perfect retirement, packed with fun, friendship, and fulfillment. But it's a lie. In reality, Hubert's days are all the same, dragging on without him seeing a single soul.

Until he receives some good news--good news that in one way turns out to be the worst news ever, news that will force him out again, into a world he has long since turned his back on. The news that his daughter is coming for a visit.

Now Hubert faces a seemingly impossible task: to make his real life resemble his fake life before the truth comes out.
Along the way Hubert stumbles across a second chance at love, renews a cherished friendship, and finds himself roped into an audacious community scheme that seeks to end loneliness once and for all . . .

Life is certainly beginning to happen to Hubert Bird. But with the origin of his earlier isolation always lurking in the shadows, will he ever get to live the life he's pretended to have for so long?

Biographical Note:
