Book Review: The Hundred Year House

The Hundred Year House 

This is the book you hope every book will be when you open it; it has humour, intelligence and depth, is beautifully written, and houses a story that’s hard not to devour in one sitting.

Set in a house, Laurelfield, in Chicago, it begins in 1999, skips to 1955 and ends in 1929, telling the intertwined stories of the generations of family who’ve lived there, and ultimately revealing a wonderful, slick twist.
