The House of Memories: The life-affirming novel for anyone who has ever loved and lost

A tender and deeply moving novel from a million-copy bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Cecelia Ahern, Cathy Kelly and Marian Keyes, this is a story about how sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones that matter most.

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.
