THE HOUSE WE GREW UP IN

English Summary/英文概要： Meet the Bird Family
So far, all four children have had an idyllic childhood: a cottage in a country village with a warm cosy kitchen filled with love and laughter, and sun-drenched afternoons in its rambling garden.
But a tragedy lies in store for the Birds: a tragedy that strikes one Easter weekend, and which is so devastating that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear the family apart.
The years pass, the children become adults, make new relationships, and begin to develop their own quite separate lives. Soon it’s almost as though they’ve never been a family at all.
Almost. But not quite.
Because something has happened that will call them home, back to the house they grew up in - and to what really happened that Easter weekend all those years ago.
Chinese Summary/中文概要：
讓我們來見見博多一家。
博多家的四個孩子過著田園詩般的童年——在一個鄉村農舍中，溫暖的廚房裡充滿歡笑和愛。一家人正在花園裡邊散步，邊享受午後的陽光。他們不知正有一場悲劇等著他們。
在一個復活節，博多家的孩子把母親藏在花園裡的彩蛋都找出來了，此時，悲劇也出現了。這場嚴重的悲劇甚至把整個家都撕扯地分崩離析。
幾十年後，孩子們都長大了，他們已經有了自己的生活，有了新的社會關係。而相互之間，他們像是陌生人。
但畢竟他們曾是一家人。
機緣巧合他們又都回到了原來的老房子，回到那個他們一起長大的地方，回憶起了那個讓他們眾叛親離的復活節。

Lisa Jewell had always planned to write her first book when she was fifty. In fact, she wrote it when she was twenty-seven and had just been made redundant from her job as a secretary. Inspired by Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, a book about young people just like her who lived in London, she wrote the first three chapters of what was to become her first novel, Ralph’s Party. It went on to become the bestselling debut novel of 1998.
Ten bestselling novels later, she lives in London with her husband and their two daughters. Lisa writes every day in a local cafe where she can drink coffee, people-watch, and, without access to the internet, actually get some work done.
