The Doll House – Phoebe Morgan
About the Book
Corinne’s
life might look perfect on the outside, but after three failed IVF attempts
it’s her last chance to have a baby. And when she finds a tiny part of a doll
house outside her flat, it feels as if it’s a sign.
But as
more pieces begin to turn up, Corinne realises that they are far too familiar.
Someone knows about the miniature rocking horse and the little doll with its
red velvet dress. Someone has been inside her house…
How does
the stranger know so much about her life? How long have they been watching? And
what are they waiting for…?
My Review
The Doll House is a book I read
courtesy of Pigeon Hole and therefore was one I had to read on my phone as
can’t be transferred to my kindle, or if it could I wasn’t sure how to do this.
I found The Doll House a rather
intriguing book. We meet Corinne who
appears to have what looks like a perfect life, a loving boyfriend and plans to
have children via IVF.
However, we are introduced to
little pieces of The Doll House left for Corinne in strange places like outside
her flat to name one.
The story is alternating chapters
each with an air of mystery around them.
We also hear from Corinne’s
sister Ashley who also tells some parts of the story.
The story comes together, and all
the pieces of the jigsaw fitted as they should do. I found this a nice debut book from Phoebe
Morgan and an author who I’ll be keeping an eye on.
