Our House by Louise CandlishMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was looking for something to take my mind off the latest developments in the world. Things have been a bit crazy! This book did that job to some extent. It did help me to relax. And at times I became engrossed in the story. I wouldn’t say this was a great book, and the middle of the book really bogged down for me. It felt like the book easily could have cut out 100 pages and would be a better book. At times I only continued on reading, not really out of interest in the story, but solely due to the location, taking place in London. Silly reason!
The way the story is told in three view points. There is current time, Bram’s story as word document, and “Fi’s story” as a transcript for an episode of The Victim. The format is okay, but at some point I wondered if it would be a good read to just get her story first, as if you are the one listening to a show. I guess if the book was really good, that would be an interesting exercise, but no way now.
The ending of the book did not disappoint, so there’s that.
I received a free copy of this book at a library conference. I was not required to write a review, but felt like it and, of course, the above opinions are my own.
