Review of 'House of Clay' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

First: Even when we had money you never took me to the seaside.
Second: I'll be using my real name from now on.


For a girl whose family used to be wealthy, starting work in a sweat shop turns out to be a life-altering experience. Very soon, hard work is the least of her problems - she finds herself in the middle of a love tangle with no confidantes but a rude old card-reading lady with an eerily similar romantic past and a mute girl. The small seaside town offers nothing but a salty breeze to soothe her - or could it be that there is just a little bit of magic in the air, too?
