À propos de cet audio

Meet the picture-perfect Bird family: pragmatic Meg, dreamy Beth, and towheaded twins Rory and Rhys, one an adventurous troublemaker, the other his slighter, more sensitive counterpart. Their father is a sweet, gangly man, but it’s their beautiful, free-spirited mother Lorelei who spins at the center. In those early years, Lorelei tries to freeze time by filling their simple brick house with precious mementos. Easter egg foils are her favorite. Craft supplies, too. She hangs all of the children’s art, to her husband’s chagrin.

Then one Easter weekend, a tragedy so devastating occurs that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear the family apart. Years pass and the children have become adults, while Lorelei has become the county’s worst hoarder. She has alienated her husband and children and has been living as a recluse. But then something happens that beckons the Bird family back to the house they grew up in - to finally understand the events of that long-ago Easter weekend and to unearth the many secrets hidden within the nooks and crannies of home.

Normally, I don’t read many books on dysfunction. But Lisa Jewell is one of my favourite writers, so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I read it. The author has an uncanny sense of understanding nuances of human nature.

Disturbing but really well written

Excellent topic and interesting to enter someone’s life that has spiraled downward so easily. The characters are quite complex while seeming quite normal to outsiders at the same time. How one incident can change many people’s lives was intriguing. One downfall? Check the title of my review.

I enjoyed this story. a few bits were very predictable, other bits came with a surprise and a giggle or 2, while parts of the tale seemed rushed or glossed over. the siblings made such a big deal about finding the password to the computer, but absolutely nothing was said about their reaction to the contents. there was no mention of the siblings' first conversation with Jim, the online lover, only that he was available for the funeral. I would have liked to have delved deeper into a few of the items

decent story

This is one of my favourite Lisa Jewell books - and I’ve read many. I love her writing and how she sprinkles humor and humanness throughout her books. This story of a mother struggling with mental health and unresolved trauma and how it impacts her children and other relationships was powerful, heartbreaking and also healing. I loved this book and highly recommend it :)

Lovely and complicated (in a good way)

Narration was good overall however I struggled to finish the book. I normally like Lisa Jewell but this one has been my least favorite of the ones I've read. It was slow and I kept waiting for a shocking end that never came. I found it disappointing and I wouldn't suggest buying it. If it was a free book maybe but she has much better ones out there that you can buy.

Hard to finish

From the Easter egg hunts to the intricate family relationships, I very much enjoyed this book. If I could have given more stars to the narrator I would have. She pulled of both male and female roles, as well as childrens’ voices very well.

Eggsellent book

It wasn’t was I was expecting but it was a good listen. I never would of guess what happened. I love all her book but this one wasn’t my favourite. It was alright.

Not what I was expecting but a good listen
