Why read it?

1 author picked The Little House as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this author’s brilliant writing and also the sense of menace that oozes from every page. As each page turns, you delve deeper into mundane activities with family filled with the possibility of murder. Culminating in a clever ending, carrying out an everyday household task.

A very clever book that I’ve read time and time again. Even long into the night.
