Ladies of the House - Book Review

 Ladies of the House by Lauren Edmondson

 

Three women tied to one scandal.

Senator Gregory Richardson has died of a heart attack. His family is saddened by his passing, but when the lies, scandals and embezzling all comes to light, they are completely devastated. Cricket his wife along with Daisy and Wallis his daughters are now left with nothing but debt and public persecution in a politically run city.

These three women band together among the rubble and slowly start to piece back their lives. Each woman is one her own journey, yet as a family they find their bond is stronger than they ever thought.

This was such a brilliantly written novel by Lauren Edmondson. I loved the modern twist on the classic novel Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. The characters had such depth and dimension, and the reader is drawn right into the story with the first sentence. I absolutely loved this novel and highly recommend you add it to your list of books to read.  I would like to thank the author  Lauren Edmondson, Harper Collins Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was amazing! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.

 

Lauren began writing angsty short stories at Williams College, where she graduated with a degree in History and English with honors. Later, at Sarah Lawrence College, she earned her M.F.A. and discovered she was much better at crafting novels. When it comes to writing, Lauren is obsessed with the fates of contemporary families and the mysteries of love; other obsessions include travel, the complete oeuvre of Bravo, and comedy podcasts. She lives slightly outside the beltway in Northern Virginia with her husband and incorrigible young daughter; she also teaches English at Northern Virginia Community College.

Ladies of the House is her first novel. Find her on Instagram @MrsLaurenEdmondson.
