I absolutely loved this book, it was so unusual and captivating. I really liked how the story weaved the perspectives of both Myra and Alex in the present through the blog posts and text messages, as well as their main narrative, and Willa in the past and how they were all interlinked.

The magic element was well done although not overly explained, this didn’t bother me though, I was happy just to go with it. I was really invested in Willa and would have liked a bit more of her story and also Ellen as I liked the parallels with Myra and Gwen.

I could picture the Mansion and it’s miniature counterpart so clearly and it was just so charming and intriguing. Perfect escapism!

A thirty-year-old recluse obsessed with decorating and redecorating her enormous doll’s house - no! - mansion. Her mother, a hoarder, risking to lose their house by getting into serious debt. And her BFF, poised to solve the crisis.
So that’s the bones of the story. But behind lurks so much more, an eternal thread connecting the house’s owners through time, a refuge, something with a life of its own.
“Our focus on creating a world full of minute detail made the world outside seem more manageable.”
A book happily suspended between the darkness of Danielewski’s “House of Leaves” and the magic of toys in Dinsdale’s “The Toymakers”.
To reveal any more of the plot would seriously spoil the fun of discovering all the intricacies as you read, but rest assured, it’s a journey well worth undertaking. My only criticism would be the piped-icing ending…

A great read I was pulled into the story love the connection between house and dolls it it full of mystery magic and a lovely family I did enjoy the middle did not grip me as much as the rest of book but I did enjoy I recommend to you all

3.5 A magical love story

I usually avoid plots containing magic and witches, therefore The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone was not an ideal choice of
reading matter for me.

A most unusual plot (unusual in a good way) set during three separate eras, all clearly defined. It took me a few chapters to decide that I liked what I was reading, before becoming totally absorbed in the lives of the main characters.

Imaginatively written. Readers who enjoy this particular genre of writing will love this book.

Magical! This kind of reminded me of The Miniaturist. I loved it!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.

A fantastic book, brilliantly written, great characters and a good storyline. I thought it was very unique. However I did find myself wondering if at some points as it did waft a little bit and at times felt a little confused and like it went off on a tangent. Other than that a good book.

This was a fascinating story, The Lady had me absolutely hooked with her magical ways, the most discreet story about witchcraft that I think I’ve ever read, because it’s not really about a witch, it’s about relationships and those who close themselves off to people and those who open themselves up and offer shelter and warmth. This is not my usual genre of book and yet I was gripped. I loved the detail about the miniature creations within the house and enjoyed following the story of the characters throughout the different time periods of the book. Really interesting and an enjoyable read.

This is a clever story about love, family and belonging bound together with a touch of magical realism.

Myra hides away from the world after a tragic accident when she was 5 which left her with scars both inside and out. Over the years she has made pieces of furniture and things to go into the huge miniature mansion (never a dollhouse) that belonged to her step grandmother.

Her best friend since childhood, Gwen, has built up an enormous following for her work on social media and one day a man from the other side of the country contacts them saying that impossibly, his house is an exact replica of her work.
Crossing back and forth between present and past, the story follows Alex’s family as the truth is gradually revealed. Lots of heart felt warmth around a nice mystery.

I read this book so wuickly and now wish I had taken my time with it because I didn't want it to end. I loved the characters and took them to my heart. I haven't stopped thinking about this book since I read it and I think it will stay with me for a while

An absolute joy of a book which I devoured eagerly, although at the same time not wanting Myra, Alex and Willa’s story to end. Some stories captivate you, staying with you long after you have finished the book, and this is one of those books. The images of the Mansion leapt off the page and made me want to snoop around the beautiful, miniature world within. It’s difficult to write much more without spoiling the story, however if you love magic and mystery, connections and relationships you will love this book. I am eagerly looking forward to Audrey Burges’ next adventure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
