'Utterly unique, addictively readable.' Pandora Sykes 'Intriguing, elegant and seductive.' Jessica Moor 'You can't put it down.' Kevin Wilson After the sudden death of her mother, Ava finds herself headed cross-country to live with the only relative she has left.
'Melissa Ginsburg's brilliance is on full display in The House UptownBy giving us these layered, complicated characters, all suffering from previous traumas, Ginsburg reveals how the past keeps reaching toward us, and what we'll do to stay out of its reach. It's a book that breaks you down, even though you can't put it down.' - Kevin Wilson
