The Birdcage by Eve Chase: 9780525542414 | PenguinRandomHouse
The Birdcage is a show-stopping novel - beautifully written and atmospheric, with a cast of fascinating, brilliantly realised characters whose story kept me absolutely gripped....one of the only writers I would drop anything for.' Rosie Walsh, author of The Love of My Life, Ghosted Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! Flora and Kat were always closer - they didn't even find out about Lauren until she was almost a teenager. It proves for a distinct dynamic - two against one. Flora is married with a child and is the prototypical beautiful stay-at-home wife with a perfect life. (or is that just what she wants others to see?) Kat is the drivin, non-nonsense businesswoman whose life revolves around the company she built. Lauren rounds out the three and is the most fragile. Raised by her single mom who lived the bohemian life - bringing Lauren travelling with her around the world - seems lost now as her mother recently passed away. Decades later, Lorna is drawn to a crumbling Cornish manor house she hazily remembers from childhood - feels a bond she does not understand. But Walter Harrington had warned Rita if she did not report to him about his wife’s mental and physical wellbeing, he would fire her and have someone else replace her. For a morally upright Rita, she’d probably have quit her job instead of getting bullied into doing what she knew was against her morals, but she was close to the two children and knew that Jeannie was never in a good position to look after them. Jeanie was still recuperating from the loss of her baby months earlier, and her mental health wasn’t at its best.Eve Chase has something of the poet in her: herdescriptions of a manor in an ancient forest are worth reading forthemselves. Weloved it,' Richard Madeley,Richard and Judy Book Club Immersive, tense and ultimately redemptive, while I was reading it held me completely in its grip.' Sarah Vaughan A gorgeously written novel describing the love and affection that hold families together and the powerful forces that can tear them apart' - Huffington Post

I loved it . . . engrossing, gripping and layered' Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of That NightFor the four Alton children, it's the perfect summer escape where not much ever happens - until one stormy evening their idyllic world is shattered. Chase parcels out her clues slowly, without a hint of showiness. About families — the ones we’re born into, the ones we make and especially the ones we flee.' The family was clearly a dysfunctional one, as all the daughters were desperate for the love and attention of the patriarch Charlie. While he certainly wouldn’t be winning any dad of the year awards, it was easy to see why he was so loved by his daughters (if not their mothers!) Some of the later revelations didn’t come as a complete surprise to me as I predicted them quite early on. However, it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the book. I still loved the story and how the loose ends were all tied up at the end. I fell in love with The Birdcage. A gorgeously written, atmospheric and twisty story. Eve Chase’s books never fail to make me cry. I devoured it!’ Claire Douglas, bestselling author The Couple at No.9

It feels strange to describe a thriller about reconciling past sins as being heartwarming, but The Birdcagesomehow manages to be suspenseful while at the same time remaining sensitive toward and generous to its troubled, flawed characters.. . The psychology and family dynamics are spot on, with Eve Chase sidestepping obvious cliches in the design of her engrossing tale.. . The twists and turns were above average, and the ending deeply satisfying. This is one of those thrillers that doesn’t rely on depravity to propel the plot, but turns its canny eye on how our all-too-human weaknesses can set off terrible consequences, and how love and compassion can heal and help us all become better people.” Criminal Element, US

Ghosts are everywhere, and not just the ghost of Momma in the woods, however ghosts of us as well, what we once were like in those long summers. I enjoyed the interactions of each of the characters ,each so different to each other,and the house that seems to have a character all of its own. But when they arrive, it’s clear they’re not alone. Someone is lurking in the shadows, watching their every move. Someone who remembers exactly what they did…
