Reviews for The Doctor's House
17 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a clever novel of family dysfunction. The "Doctor's house' was ruled by a monster and painful secrets emerge and shift through the varying memories of the wife and two adult children. In this dark tale Ms Beattie still manages to inject humour, irony and wit .
