"The House of Dreams" may only have been a short read, but was a very fascinating tale of grief and the different emotions surrounding it and how some are so affected by it that it consumes them and they have no way of coming out of it.
Francesco Pellegrini arrives in London desperate to make his mother proud, only to learn of her untimely death. He seeks help and has trouble defining what is real and what is not.
The author wrote a compelling novel taking you a much different way and thus learn how to change. I look forward to reading more from Jordana Blasco.

Thank you to publisher and NetGalley for the eARC.

This may be a short book, but it is huge when it comes to impact. The author did a great job of conveying how grief affects a person. The author wrote about mental health struggles in a realistic and respectful manner.

An interesting and quick read that takes you through loss and life and the meaning of what it is to be human. In fact, I wished it had been a bit longer just to explore some more themes, particularly the idea of staying lost in grief and finding yourself in recovery and what each journey means.

An otherworldly experience into grief and how it affects us.

The House of Dreams is one of those stories that in a little over 100 pages tackled some incredibly difficult topics. Death of a parent, suicide, depression, mental health care, life paths and the stigmas surrounding them. I found that while very surreal in its delivery it makes for quite a thought provoking read.

A fascinating tale of immigration, and the wheel to succeed despite tragedy. Loved it. Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC copy
