About the book:
HENRY AND VIOLET FELL IN LOVE IN THE ORANGE HOUSE. AND SO WILL YOU.
Henry and Violet first met in the garden of The Orange House on the beautiful island of Mallorca.
They promised their lives to each other, poured their love into restoring the house and built the foundations of their marriage within its walls. First it was their private idyll, then a place to escape with their son, Luke - but now it has become a battleground.
As the years have passed, cracks have appeared and secrets have built barriers between them.
Finally, on the brink of divorce, they have come back to Mallorca to sell up. Will this final summer together be the end - or a new beginning?
Twenty years ago, The Orange House brought them together. Now, will it be reason they part?

My Review:
The Orange House by Isabelle Broom is a beautifully written, thought provoking summer read that I found captivating from the very first page right up until the last page had been turned.
The Orange House tells the story of Violet and Henry who, after twenty years together, are now on the cusp of divorce. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful island of Mallorca, the estranged couple come together to discuss the sale of The Orange House, the place they fell in love in and rebuilt together. But now, with their marriage in tatters, is it about to be the place where their life together ends?
Set mainly in the present but with flashbacks to the past, we learn of what has happened to bring them to this point. Their nineteen year old son, Luke, has travelled to Mallorca with his girlfriend, his relationship with his parents, especially his mother, clearly a difficult one, fraught with tension.
Twenty years ago The Orange House brought Violet and Henry together. Now, will it be the reason they part? Or will it prove to be the catalyst that brings this fractured family together once more?
The Orange House is a complex, multilayered and thought provoking read with characters that, I have to admit, were sometimes difficult to like, but who I couldn't help but grow to love as the story progressed. A stunning, sensitively written tale that touches on fragile family relationships and the minefield that is mental health, this is a book that I know will stay with me for some time to come.
Isabelle Broom has written a beautiful, note perfect summer read that I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend.
