My streak of reading really good books lately continues with this one. I took a chance when this was on sale awhile back since the story sounded intriguing and the cover art drew me in. The story revolves around the Bird family who inhabits a comfortable home in the Cotswolds. The mother, Lorelei, is full of a youthful exuberance that seems to be more childish than childlike at times. The four children are raised in this "perfect" family, but the cracks in the foundation are felt even when not yet seen. Told in the present day when the family is coming together to bury Lorelei, there are flashbacks to events over the years along with emails Lorelei has been exchanging with a friend she met online which give a glimpse into her final weeks.There is a feeling of tension and suspense as the reader tries to piece together what has transpired to change this family from a close-knit one to a family geographically scattered and emotionally estranged.A great read that is hard to put down once started. Subject matter of hoarding is explored with sensitivity and a lack of sensationalism that I very much appreciated. Loved it from beginning to end.
This was one of the best books that I have read this year. Beautifully written, it introduces the reader to the Bird family who live in a picturesque village in the Cotswalds in a charming house. The slightly eccentric Lorelei lives there with her husband, Colin, with their four children. They appear to lead an almost idyllic existence, happy in each others company. They even have an ongoing family tradition: annual Easter egg hunts. They seem to be an almost enviable family, until one day something happens that will change each of their lives profoundly.How their lives change and what happens to them and why is revealed slowly and inexorably.The author expertly and delicately peels the layers back for the reader, advancing the heartbreaking family drama that unfolds. Central to it all is Lorelei, whose life goes so out of control that she is unable to help her husband or her children, much less herself. This book is a sensitive look at why people end up as they are. Sometimes, they end up as collateral damage, when their mother finds herself unable to cope with the unkindest cut of all.This is a a sensitively drawn portrait of a family in so much pain, it goes off the rails. It is about how its individual members find ways of coping with that pain, even if they do not fully understand how or why they got to that point in the first place. The author brilliantly brings it all to a head in the final denouement that makes the reasons for all that happened to this family come together in one moment of startling clarity. Bravo!
I did not want to put this book down. I would read until the wee hours of the morning. The story had my attention - but I was tired, so I forced myself to put it aside. I didn't want to finish it with only half my brain working. The sacrifice was worth it; finding out how the Bird family becomes so fractured was compelling.The story is told through a series of flashbacks and from different family members point of view, in third person. Despite this, the story was not confusing at all.Jewell did a masterful job of creating sympathy for each of the characters - flaws (and oh, they have them) and all.
Throughout the reading of this novel, I wavered between a one-star rating to a five-star rating. At the end, I gave into a three-star rating. Some parts of the story were remarkable especially the ability of the author to bring in six (then only five) different personalities each "talking" about each of their own lives as children and as adults. And what a mess of a family! Each member could be its own soap opera. So many issues thrown at the reader with little guidance as to how to sort through it all. At times I simply wanted to stop reading and archive the book. Yet somehow (due to the author's writing -- or my own sorry curiosity), I felt compelled to discover what came next with this family. Finally finished. I put down the book and shook my head that all seemed to be just fine. All was sorted and forgiven as long as family could come together and love each other. Maybe I needed more information as to how the members managed to resolve all their single and multiple issues. Or maybe the family decided not to resolve anything -- rather simply to accept life at the present and move on. So, compelling writing that pushed along a messy/complex plot. I left the book thinking I learned little and gained nothing in the reading.
The House We Grew Up In is a very thought provoking, brilliantly written book! I'm so glad I found this book and will have to read Lisa Jewell's other Novels. I love British authors their wit and style of writing is straight forward and funny. However this story is about a hoarder, collector of rubbish which is a serious issue of mental illness. The book immediately draws you into this completely dysfunctional family you will not be able to put it down. I come from a detached broken family. Yet, when when mom was around in our younger years we were all so close! It was easy to relate to the Bird family . The story is heart breaking at times. No matter how bizarre things get with this family it's written in a compassionate, tender way. You can't pick your family but love and life's lessons seems to get them through all the craziness. Very unique topic which is written in a tender loving way!
