"...prose so beautiful that it glitters on the page. Lisa Jewell
lays down piece after piece of mosaic, revealing the heart of the
Bird family, filled in equal measure with love and loss.
Unforgettable."--Jo-Ann Mapson, author of Solomon's Oak, Finding
Casey, and Owen's Daughter
"A dramatic look at siblings, parents, and hoarding."--
"Redbook"
"A gorgeous, powerful, affecting tale of a family both ordinary and
extraordinary. Lisa Jewell is a wonderful storyteller, and The
House We Grew Up In grips you from the first page to the last. I'm
afraid to say it made me neglect both my children and my husband.
The Bird family might be dysfunctional, but I was strangely sorry
to leave it."--Anna Maxted, author of Getting Over It and Running
In Heels
"Jewell cleverly frames the destruction of the Bird family ....an
absolute page-turner."-- "Booklist"
"Lisa Jewell's quixotic Bird family functions like an operatic
ensemble--each voice distinct, each singing its heart out,
seemingly oblivious to the others. Yet somehow by the end of this
engrossing, beautifully crafted novel, their separate stories will
draw them back together, reminding us that, however hard we
struggle against them, family ties are not easily undone."--Judith
Ryan Hendricks, author of Bread Alone
"This richly rendered family saga is populated with such compelling
characters and told in such luscious, insightful prose, that a
singular tragedy is made universally relatable. You won't be able
to stop thinking about it long after the book is over."--Jessie
Sholl, author of Dirty Secret
"You'll be desperate to find out what messed this family up so
badly."--Sophie Kinsella, author of Shopaholic to the Stars
"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."--Jojo Moyes,
author of Me Before You
