It was very clear that she was fighting with a number of things inside her own head. I really enjoyed the main character, Maggie. I had such a hard time putting this down because each bit left off in a way that made me want to know what happened next as soon as possible. I absolutely loved the way each of these key focuses built off of one another. The story is told as a duel narrative one that was from the novel written by the father after they lived in the home for twenty days, and the other, the daughters’ return to the house decades later. When she moves back in while she renovates the house, planning to sell it, she begins making discoveries that align with what her father had written… and that makes her question everything. But Maggie can’t remember anything and she isn’t convinced that anything in the book actually happened. When she was last at the house when she was five, something horrible occurred that made the family flee the house, never to return.Īfter they left, her father wrote a book and claimed that it was the true story of what happened to their family while they lived there. This tale is about a woman named Maggie Holt who inherits a house that she thought her family had long since sold. Let’s dive in!
