The Mudlarkers’ Club - Jane Riley

Five mudlarkers. One community. Countless unexpected discoveries! 'I was so heavily invested, I was distraught when it came to an end!' Reader review ? The day Adam leaves her, Gemma takes her heightened emotions, her now-ex-mother-in-law’s hot pink wellies, and a pair of yellow Marigold gloves down to the River Thames. She thinks finding historical objects in the hotchpotch of pebbles, rocks and mud is the only way to distract from her heartbreak. Until she meets an eclectic group of people who love to do the same thing. As the mudlarkers begin to open up to each other, Gemma realises that they are not just bonding over the wonders of the past, because what’s in the present might be more important. And perhaps friendship is not the only treasure to be found on the banks of the river… Praise for The Mudlarkers' Club 🪏💂🌻 'A warm and uplifting read, packed with loveable characters you can’t help but root for’ Kate Storey 'An emotional and uplifting story, following a delightful group of characters – the Mudlarkers – as they search the riverbed for forgotten treasures, making new friends and changing their lives along the way. You won’t look at the Thames in the same way again’ Elissa Soave ‘[Riley] gives us this feel-good foray into the “treasures” buried on the banks of the River Thames’ The Sunday Post 'I loved this read. it made me feel so much better about planet earth right now.'
