The House We Grew Up In
Jewell Lisa
Meet the Bird family.
They live in a honey-colored house in a picture-perfect Cotswolds
village, with rambling, unkempt gardens stretching beyond. Pragmatic
Meg, dreamy Beth, and tow-headed twins Rory and Rhys all attend the
village school and eat home-cooked meals together every night. Their
father is a sweet gangly man named Colin, who still looks like a
teenager with floppy hair and owlish, round-framed glasses. Their mother
is a beautiful hippy named Lorelei, who exists entirely in the moment.
And she makes every moment sparkle in her children's lives.
Then
one Easter weekend, tragedy comes to call. The event is so devastating
that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear the family apart. Years
pass as the children become adults, find new relationships, and develop
their own separate lives. Soon it seems as though they've never been a
family at all. But then something happens that calls them back to the
house they grew up in -- and to what really happened that Easter weekend
so many years ago.
Told in gorgeous, insightful prose that delves deeply into the hearts and minds of its characters, The House We Grew Up In
is the captivating story of one family's desire to restore
long-forgotten peace and to unearth the many secrets hidden within the
nooks and crannies of home.
