ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The House We Grew Up In" by Lisa Jewell explores the complex dynamics of the Bird family, centered around Lorelei, a mother whose compulsive hoarding has a profound impact on her children. The novel alternates between past and present, revealing the deep emotional scars left by Lorelei’s eccentric and often overwhelming behavior. As the children grow up and move away, they attempt to reconnect with their childhood home, now a symbol of decay and dysfunction. The book delves into themes of family, mental illness, secrets, and the struggle to reconcile with one's past.
