The family upstairs

Lisa Jewell

Libby Jones, twenty-five and living on a shoestring budget, is shocked to discover that she has inherited an eight-bedroom property in the heart of Chelsea. But the house is dilapidated and has a sinister past - one in which she and her birth family are tangled. For this is also the day that Libby discovers she has a brother and a sister. That her birth parents were poor, selling their furniture and sleeping on mattresses inside their palatial home. That their bodies were found side by side on the floor in the kitchen, dead in a suspected suicide pact. And that Libby, ten months old, was found alone in a room on the first floor. As Libby begins to delve into the secrets of the past, what she discovers will shake her to the core..
