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 . . .
____________

Readers can't get enough of The House We Grew Up In . . .

Reviews

The authorโ€™s best yetโ€ฆ A fantastically gripping story with a couple of powerful shocks. Her best novel to date.... Itโ€™s an evocative, thought-provoking and fascinating book that gets under your skin. Just brilliant. Clever, intelligent and believable on a subject few of us really understand. Lorrie is one of the most vivid - and complex - characters I've read in years. Wonderful. Simply stunning. Unputdownable Poignant, heart-wrenching & beautifully told, the author's best tale yet. The House We Grew Up In is a truly brilliant novel, it had me hooked from start to finish. A poignant page-turner. Beautifully written. Jewell cleverly and thoughtful portrays her steady decline and the effect it has on her family which has other secrets waiting to emerge. Imaginative and well executed. Expand reviews
