lauraoinak 's review for:
The House of Broken Bricks
by Fiona Williams
I did the audiobook version of this title.
Grief can do terrible things to a family.
This is exactly what you see happening with Tess and Richard.
Part of their deep dark secret is easy to figure out part way through the story, but it is closer to 3/4 of the way in that you learn the truth. Then you see how broken the survivors are and how they need to lean into each other if the family is going to survive. You can also see how someone's upbringing can influence how they handle life after a loved one's death.
I appreciated that they had a different narrator for each family member (Tess, Richard, Sonny, and Max.)
