Her Majesty Queen Camilla has a passion to get people reading. Now she joins four remarkable people, each with a story to tell of how books transformed their lives, when they most needed help. Warm, emotional, and full of hope, this is a tale of how reading can lift us, open our minds, and even change our lives.

Interspersed with these five main stories are short, often funny, contributions from a wide range of readers on how books have consoled them or enriched their lives.

The film builds to a finale, in a return to the Clarence House reading group, as the Queen and the four others swap stories of how a book changed their lives. Moving, and beautifully filmed it is a powerful love song to reading.
