The London House
by Katherine Reay
A fractured family, a long and secret history that is threatening to tear them apart even more, and the ever-present dressmaker in France during WWII. While that one tiny detail had me initially thinking this would be yet another WWII novel we've seen so many of, I was really pleasantly surprised at the plot and character development in this novel.
A journalist uncovers a damning secret about a great-grandmother that threatens to splinter an already broken family. As the great-granddaughter explores this theory and uncovers diaries and letters, she learns so much more than the hushed secret her family has been hiding for generations. Her research leads her not only through the history of British involvement in the underground resistance in France, but through her own fractured relationships.
I loved the historical details of this book and enjoyed following both the characters and the clues to find the truth. Thank you to Net Galley and Harper Muse for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review. #TheLondonHouse #NetGalley
