📚 My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
📚 My Review: I enjoyed parts of this book, but overall, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. With multiple points of view, I often found it difficult to keep track of who was speaking—I think having character names at the beginning of each chapter would have helped. I also felt like we didn’t get the full story for each character, which left things feeling a bit unfinished. It’s not a bad book by any means, maybe just not the right fit for me.
Thank you to Storm Publishing via netgalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
📚 Goodreads Synopsis: When Orla Clifford inherits her grandmother’s crumbling Georgian house on Damask Square, she sees a chance to rebuild her life while restoring its faded grandeur. But beneath its peeling wallpaper and weathered floors, the house holds more than just memories.
To make ends meet, she takes in Luke, a handyman with artistic dreams; compassionate Livvie; and Beatrice – young, privileged and haunted by the question of her own past.
As Orla pours her heart into her morning journal, Beatrice searches through the house’s hidden corners, coming dangerously close to uncovering what Orla has spent decades concealing. What will happen when the secret Orla has carried for twenty years finally comes to light? Will it destroy the fragile bonds forming beneath this roof – or become the missing piece they’ve all been searching for?
