I devoured it like a hungry wolf. It has everything: a crumbling mansion, a fractured family and long-buried secrets all mixed in with the seductive glamour of 1980s Soho. There are monsters in the shadows, but a sense of belonging wins out - belonging to a place, to a family and deep in someone's heart. Enchanting!

The Glittering Art of Falling Apart is just so haunting and fantastically written. I know I will be thinking about the Tempest family for a long time to come. If you read this book, make sure you have tissues handy. You will need them!
