Julie Myerson is the author of Home- The Story of Everyone Who Ever Lived in Our House and nine novels, including the best-selling Something Might Happen, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize. In the words of the Observer, she 'has a talent for making the unthinkable readable. The results are riveting.'
There's a rhythm to these purposeful leaps between past and present that becomes part of the experience of reading this increasingly gripping novel.... The German word unheimlich captures best what Myerson writes about so well: that eerie sense when something is both familiar and unfamiliar * New York Times * Filled with darkness... An unsettling and disturbing tale. -- Beth Jones * Sunday Telegraph * The German word unheimlich captures best what Myerson writes about so well: that eerie sense when something is both familiar and unfamiliar. The English word for that is 'uncanny'. -- Katherine Weber * New York Times * It's the sort of book you cannot put down, partly because it is so addictive and partly because if you do put it down, you know you will spend the next few hours startling at every creaking door... It really is unremittingly, heart-stoppingly dark. -- Viv Groskop * Observer * This is a book that you will turn through the night to reach its conclusion - Myerson has you dying for the end and even surer that you will do just that when you get there. Spoiler alert: don't expect roses around the door. * The Times *
