The House We Grew Up In
by Lisa Jewell
dark
emotional
mysterious
sad
fast-paced
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This book was much more of a family saga than a mystery, even though there’s a mystery at its core. It left me feeling very moved, a really touching tale about family and trauma and coping (or not coping, as the case may be).
Lisa Jewell is easily one of my favourite authors, she just creates such incredibly vivid characters that always feel flawed and therefore realistic.
