The House of Memories by Monica McInerney

The House of Memories

by Monica McInerney

Following a tragic accident, Ella O'Hanlon flees to the other side of the world in an attempt to escape her grief, leaving behind the two people she blames for her loss: Aidan, the love of her life, and Jess, her spoilt half-sister. In London Ella is taken in by her beloved uncle Lucas, whose extraordinary house holds many wonderful memories for her. Along with other members of the very colourful Fox family, Lucas helps Ella to see that she is not the only one still hurting, and that forgiveness can be the greatest healer in a family and in a marriage. For anyone who has ever loved and lost, this is an exquisitely moving and life-affirming novel by the internationally bestselling author of Lola's Secret.

I bought this book on a bit of whim one day in October 2012 when I was in the CBD trying to kill a few hours. I was there for an appointment in the early afternoon and I was meeting up with some friends later in the evening, but I didn't realise the appointment would finish so quickly, leaving a huge gap of time for me to fill... And what better way to fill time than with a book! I already owned two of Monica McInerney's books at the time but I hadn't read them, and this was a new release so I thought I'd give it a whirl. And boy I'm I glad that I did!
