Imagine that you live on a picturesque communal garden square, an oasis in urban London where your children run free, in and out of other people’s houses. You’ve known your neighbors for years and you trust them. Implicitly. You think your children are safe. But are they really?

On a midsummer night, as a festive neighborhood party is taking place, preteen Pip discovers her thirteen-year-old sister Grace lying unconscious and bloody in a hidden corner of a lush rose garden. What really happened to her? And who is responsible?

Dark secrets, a devastating mystery, and the games both children and adults play all swirl together in this gripping novel, packed with utterly believable characters and page-turning suspense. Fans of Liane Moriarty and Jojo Moyes will be captivated byThe Girls, the next unforgettable novel by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell.

Adrian è un architetto stimato e la sua vita è praticamente perfetta. È un uomo di successo. Attraente. Amato. Ha ottimi rapporti con le sue due ex mogli e con i cinque figli. Non solo: si è appena risposato per la terza volta con Maya. Ma tutto funziona, perché tutti sono felici: i bambini, lui e anche la sua terza moglie. Adrian è il collante che riesce a tenere insieme tutti i membri di questa numerosissima famiglia allargata. Maya, però, muore improvvisamente, investita da un autobus alle tre del mattino. Era sola. E ubriaca. Terribile incidente o suicidio? Da quel momento la vita di Adrian comincia a cadere a pezzi. Piano piano, le crepe profondissime che si sono insinuate nella sua esistenza apparentemente solida si fanno sempre più evidenti. Perché tutti hanno dei segreti. E i segreti hanno delle conseguenze. E alcune possono essere devastanti.

“Clever, intelligent…wonderful” (Jojo Moyes, New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You).

Meet the Bird family. They live in a honey-colored house in a picture-perfect Cotswolds village, with rambling, unkempt gardens stretching beyond. Pragmatic Meg, dreamy Beth, and tow-headed twins Rory and Rhys all attend the village school and eat home-cooked meals together every night. Their father is a sweet gangly man named Colin, who still looks like a teenager with floppy hair and owlish, round-framed glasses. Their mother is a beautiful hippy named Lorelei, who exists entirely in the moment. And she makes every moment sparkle in her children’s lives.

Then one Easter weekend, tragedy comes to call. The event is so devastating that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear the family apart. Years pass as the children become adults, find new relationships, and develop their own separate lives. Soon it seems as though they’ve never been a family at all. But then something happens that calls them back to the house they grew up in—and to what really happened that Easter weekend so many years ago.

Told in gorgeous, insightful prose that delves deeply into the hearts and minds of its characters, The House We Grew Up In is the captivating story of one family’s desire to restore long-forgotten peace and to unearth the many secrets hidden within the nooks and crannies of home.
