Description
The Turner House marks a major new contribution to the story of the American family. For over fifty years, the Turners have lived on Yarrow Street, their house having seen thirteen children grow and go - some returned, while others moved away. The house has witnessed the arrival of grandchildren, the decline of Detroit's East Side, and the loss of a father. Now, as ailing matriarch Viola is forced to leave her home and move in with her eldest son, the family discovers that their beloved house is worth just a tenth of its mortgage. This powerful debut explores the complexities of family, identity, and belonging in a rapidly changing world. With its nuanced portrayal of American life, The Turner House is a moving and thought-provoking novel that will resonate with readers.
