House of Broken Bricks
Stars: 5 x 5
Author: Fiona Williams @fionawilliamswrites
Publisher: Henry Holt Books @henryholtbooks and Dreamscape Media @dreamscapem
Thank you @netgalley for the ARC and Audio ARC

This is a beautiful telling the story of the most difficult year in the life of a family alongside the changing seasons of their home next to a river. The interior heartbreak in each family member draws them steadily away from each other until we see slowly healing revealed in each individual and in the family as a whole. The book is told by the views of each family member. This novel examines themes of loss, tragedy, love and friendships. The books is beautifully written.

Brilliant - I loved it!

What a fantastic, moving book. The descriptions of life deeply rooted in the growing of the countryside and the passing of the seasons are amazing taking along the saddest storyline. This one will stay with me a while!
