The Yellow House
The Yellow House | Emily O'Grady
3 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
Ten-year-old Cub lives with her parents, older brother Cassie, and twin brother Wally on a lonely property bordering an abandoned cattle farm and knackery. Their lives are shadowed by the infamous actions of her Granddad Les in his yellow weatherboard house, just over the fence. Although Les died twelve years ago, his notoriety has grown in Cub's lifetime and the local community have ostracised the whole family. When Cub's estranged aunt Helena and cousin Tilly move next door into the yellow house, the secrets the family want to keep buried begin to bubble to the surface. And having been kept in the dark about her grandfather's crimes, Cub is now forced to come to terms with her family's murky history.

After I read her recent book I thought I‘d see what this one was like. I really enjoyed her writing. Her development of characters, descriptions and easy flow of language made it an easy read for me. Only 2 books published so far . She is another budding Aussie writer. I will be on the look out for any further books. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Intriguing plot.

So book club this month was this little gem, it was evocatively written and very easy to read even if the theme was a little disturbing. I loved how the author never went into details about certain things and it enabled your imagination to go into overdrive, providing a very intense, chilling read. #australianauthors #emilyogrady #allenandunwin #vogelprizewinner

Oh this is a harrowing tale. Beautifully written and easy to read, but packed full of tension and tragedy. I almost felt Cub's nausea and fear, and I loved the references to familiar Australian childhood things (especially the sweets) #aussie #vogelsprize
