It was a good unique book. Not sure I fully understood the whole thing but I liked it. It had great messages written inside.

Thank you @netgalley for the ARC of The House of Broken Bricks by Fiona Williams. This was a beautifully written family drama with beautiful descriptive language. It is character driven as well as the imagery is the focus of the writing.

The story is about Tess and Richard, a biracial couple and the seasons of their marriage. They have twins, Sonny and Max, one is black presenting and the other white. Tess and Richard’s marriage is cracking and Sonny and Max have their own trials. As the seasons change, the family dynamics change as well.

Doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere. Maybe i’m not in the first right frame of mind for this one.
