Book Clubs
Gather Your Favorite Readers. We'll Bring The Family Drama.
Families are complicated. Add a missing corpse, a mysterious stranger, decades of buried history, and a wild and windswept Cape Cod setting, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a memorable book club discussion.
Whether your group loves literary fiction, family sagas, mysteries, or stories that keep everyone talking long after the meeting ends, The Time It Takes To Drown offers plenty to unpack.
Because let’s be honest. If someone showed up claiming to be your dead father’s only daughter? You’d get your fists up and start sleuthing with every fibre of your being.
The Book Everyone In Your Group Will Read Differently
One reader will be convinced they know exactly who to trust. Another will argue the opposite.
Someone will sympathize with a character everyone else dislikes. Someone else will see the ending in a completely different way.
That is what makes The Time It Takes To Drown such a compelling book club selection.
Beneath the mystery lies a story about family, identity, memory, and the complicated ways people hold onto the past. The novel invites readers to question assumptions, challenge perspectives, and examine how personal history shapes the stories we tell ourselves.
Because sometimes the most interesting part of a book isn’t what happened. It’s your take on what the story is really about.
Questions Your Book Club Won't Agree On

Author visits for book clubs
A great book club conversation gets even better when the authors join the room.
Vicki French-Sanches and Franny French would love to visit your book club, library group, or reading circle to talk about The Time It Takes To Drown, the story behind the novel, the characters, the Cape Cod setting, and the questions readers keep turning over after the final page.
Author visits may be available virtually or in person, depending on location and scheduling.
