Critics Review

House of Dreams is a heart-warming tale of secrets slowly revealed and family tensions in a beautiful Spanish setting. A compelling and delightful read

‘Blake’s beat is middle-aged, middle-class family life gone wrong and here’s her best one yet … Wryly perceptive, excellently plotted, packed with telling lifestyle detail and especially good on the monumental selfishness of teenagers’

‘The twists will tantalise until the big shock on the very last page’ - WOMAN

‘Female friendship comes under the microscope … a fabulous page-turner’ - PRIMA

‘I love the way Fanny Blake proves that women just become more and more fascinating’

‘Fanny Blake has the gift of creating wonderful page turners from very domestic situations; and then making them warm and funny as well’
