APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
After her husband’s mental breakdown, Grace Wild moves with her two daughters, Pip and Grace, into a cramped London flat that opens onto an idyllic communal garden. When something terrible happens to 12-year-old Grace, The Girls jumps back in time, charting the events leading up to the violent tragedy. Novelist Lisa Jewell puts a fresh spin on crime fiction, sucking you into the stories of the varied characters who live around Virginia Terrace, the seat of old resentments and simmering tensions. We were glued to this emotional rollercoaster of a story from start to finish, unable to fathom where the ride would finally end.
