The Cornflake House by Deborah Gregory
Review by Cheryl G. (Poncer)
The Cornflake House is a quietly quirky quick read which sets up enough curiosity to keep the reader turning the pages.
The book is told in the form of a letter that, after reading and digesting it, could really be written by any woman.
It is a reflective book, about the hold relationships have on us, and the choices we make based on loyalty and love.
I don’t often read general fiction, but the cover of this one drew me in while I was wandering about my community library. At only 288 pages, I figured I would give it a try and I was not disappointed.
Eve, the protagonist, draws a picture for us of an unusual family, with enough characters to make it interesting. Describing each, she allows us glimpses of each of them from her own perspective, they all
are folks we have met, are related to, have known intimately. And yet each are different.
I give this book 5 solid stars and recommend it for a nice summer afternoon read.
Good review, thanks! Sounds like something I’d like to read.
