2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Many years ago something happened to my daughter Isobel, something that broke her from the inside. Our family fell apart that day, and we never could pick up the pieces When tragedy strikes, single mother Eve retreats with her daughter Isobel to Fox Cottage, their isolated home on the outskirts of town. Izzie, seven years old and sensitive, needs time to heal away from prying eyes. Days become years and the town moves on, but Eve wont let go and Isobel cant grow up. When a new family comes to Fox Cottage, their presence in the house will unearth a dark past that has long been buried that somebody close to them would do anything to hide. It will expose secrets that Eve never knew about her own daughter that she can scarcely believe could be true A heart-breaking domestic drama about families and secrets, perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Shalini Boland and Lisa Jewell.

For most of this book I was just thinking “can something happen already” but despite that I did enjoy it once things got moving. It felt slightly creepy and mysterious (which I loved) but didn‘t quite have that special spark which made me want to constantly keep reading. A good plot and well-rounded characters with engaging backstories helped but it certainly isn‘t something I would consider re-reading at a later point. #NetGalley

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Isobel is now in her 30's and still speaks like a 7 year old girl. Is she trying to protect or harm her ex boyfriend's family now that they have moved into her former childhood home? This book was riveting and just when you think you know what's going on, Lucy throws in a plot twist that leaves you saying wtf?! #lucydawson #thememory #tea_sipping_bookworm
