Ebook About From the New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone…OUR HOUSE. OUR FAMILY. OUR SECRETS. Meet the picture-perfect Bird family: pragmatic Meg, dreamy Beth, and towheaded twins Rory and Rhys, one an adventurous troublemaker, the other his slighter, more sensitive counterpart. Their father is a sweet, gangly man, but it’s their beautiful, free-spirited mother Lorelei who spins at the center. In those early years, Lorelei tries to freeze time by filling their simple brick house with precious mementos. Easter egg foils are her favorite. Craft supplies, too. She hangs all of the children’s art, to her husband’s chagrin. Then one Easter weekend, a tragedy so devastating occurs that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear the family apart. Years pass and the children have become adults, while Lorelei has become the county’s worst hoarder. She has alienated her husband and children and has been living as a recluse. But then something happens that beckons the Bird family back to the house they grew up in—to finally understand the events of that long-ago Easter weekend and to unearth the many secrets hidden within the nooks and crannies of home.Book The House We Grew Up In: A Novel Review :
My streak of reading really good books lately continues with this one. I took a chance when this was on sale awhile back since the story sounded intriguing and the cover art drew me in. The story revolves around the Bird family who inhabits a comfortable home in the Cotswolds. The mother, Lorelei, is full of a youthful exuberance that seems to be more childish than childlike at times. The four children are raised in this "perfect" family, but the cracks in the foundation are felt even when not yet seen. Told in the present day when the family is coming together to bury Lorelei, there are flashbacks to events over the years along with emails Lorelei has been exchanging with a friend she met online which give a glimpse into her final weeks.There is a feeling of tension and suspense as the reader tries to piece together what has transpired to change this family from a close-knit one to a family geographically scattered and emotionally estranged.A great read that is hard to put down once started. Subject matter of hoarding is explored with sensitivity and a lack of sensationalism that I very much appreciated. Loved it from beginning to end. Look, I enjoyed this book, I did. I have been reading Lisa Jewell since the days of her wonderful domestic romantic drama novels. But something in this book made me realise, maybe she's not putting in the effort she maybe should be.I live in Australia, in Sydney,and have done for twenty years. One of the characters in this book lives in Sydney for a time. She lives in "a converted terrace house in Sydney's Spanish Quarter". Ok, first off, there isn't one. We don't get a whole lot of Spanish people here (no clue why), and when we do, there's no Spanish Quarter they have created. Best explanation for this is a one-block stretch of Goulburn St, near Kent, which years ago had three or four Spanish-related restaurants, and at one time there was a sign on a bar there that said Spanish Quarter (although I have never heard anyone refer to it as that - it's just called the CBD). There are absolutely, categorically no terrace houses anywhere near that area. Only newbuild Meriton apartment blocks, a couple of faceless hotels, and some tacky souvenir stores (you get the picture - it's nothing special). Maybe if she had said "Greek area", "Vietnamese enclave" or "Italian suburb", I could have overlooked it. Without needing to be named, I can tell you that she might possibly be referring to Dulwich Hill, Marrickville and Leichhardt, respectively, which all have at least some terrace houses left, so I could have just assumed it was that and been satisfied.Then, her British boyfriend brings her a Creme Egg - supposedly a gift from home, that he had to go out of his way to find, and that was expensive. Ummmmm no. We all grew up with Creme Eggs, they are stocked in every single supermarket and always have been since my childhood, and they cost about 50 cents each. Maybe a dollar come Easter (yes they are available here year round). There are lots of wonderful British treats that are (or have been in the past) harder to locate - Jaffa Cakes! Twiglets! PG Tips! But no, Creme Eggs are most definitely not one of them.Has she even been to Australia?Also, the auther referred to Beth's Mary Janes as sandals. What? Are we thinking of the same shoes?My point is not that these details matter - they don't in the least, not to the the plot anyway. But the author and the publishers have just skipped over these details, thinking "Ah, close enough." No, not close enough. It's as bad as having typos or punctuation errors. It makes me wonder what else you glossed over, what other erroneous details I might have missed. It takes me out of the story, and makes me dislike (and not respect as much) the author for not considering the details of the piece as a priority. For thinking her readers may not notice, or care. It's just disappointing, that's all.Tldr: Great book, usually great author. Does not prioritise details, makes me respect her less.
