"When Elsie Gormley leaves the Brisbane house in which she has lived for more than sixty years, Lucy Kiss and her family move in, eager to establish their new life. As they settle in, Lucy and her husband Ben struggle to navigate their transformation from adventurous lovers to new parents, taking comfort in memories of their vibrant past as they begin to unearth who their future selves might be. But the house has secrets of its own, and the rooms seem to share recollections of Elsie's life with Lucy."

An interesting premise for a novel, but one which although interesting, I felt lack substance.
The writing was a bit lacklustre and dreary but nevertheless I did love the character of Elsie.

Whilst it was a lovely book, well written and enjoyable to read - it was more about a period in time, for both women, than a plot driven story, and for me I felt it struggled to hold my interest fully. It would be a great holiday book where I could dip in and out without losing my way.
