Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
An unforgettable story about a family with a terrible secret. From the #1 bestselling author of Then She Was Gone, The Night She Disappeared and The Family Upstairs.
When a tragedy breaks a family apart, what can bring it back together?
The Birds seem to be the perfect family: mother, father, four children, a picture-book cottage in the country.
But one Easter weekend, something happens - something so unexpected, so devastating, that no one can bring themselves to talk about it.
The family shatters, seemingly for good.
Until, years later, they are forced to return to the house they grew up in, and to confront what really broke the family apart...

Sad and uplifting
A thoughtful and heartbreaking exploration of hoarding and of the texture of family life. Not a thriller, but a domestic drama. The ending is joyful. In short, I loved it.

A great story beautifully observed. Brought to life, in particular the character of Lorelei, with an excellent performance.

Quite disappointed, her other books are great.
Loved all of her other books I’ve listened to. This one was rather bland. And long winded.

Not her best work
Was ok but I just wanted the story to give me more, was a bit boring if I’m honest.

A thoughtful story full of twists
This one hit home a little, wonderfully read and a very good story, certainly went on a ride with this, not typical of her usual writing but really loved it, if not more than any of her other books.

Amazing story! Heart wrenching !
One plot twist that’s not fully explained! But TBH that’s what makes it even more tragic.. so good!

I did not enjoy this book
This book is one of Lisa Jewels flops. Kept waiting for something to escalate, but it just went nowhere.
Narrator was very good.
I have enjoyed most of Lisa Jewels books a shame
about this one.
