This week’s #PhotoRehabCoverMakeover challenge from Lucile (bridging lacunas) and Desley (Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist) is the novel, The House We Grew Up In, by Lisa Jewell.
I haven’t read the book, and I deliberately didn’t find out too much about it. I love the title and wanted to create a cover that worked for the story that I imagined.

Great cover work, Su.
It evokes mystery, introspection, deep dives in family affairs not short of suffering, dramas, intrigue and hopefully a happy end for some of the characters. Because there is always light at the end, and it doesn’t need to be a tunnel, as a comfy couch will do too.
Funny enough yours fit the story very well. I read only the excerpt though.

Nice 1950s feel with real letters on the chair.

Thanks; I had to rummage in the box of family history stuff my mum gave me to find actual paper letters, in envelopes! These date from the 1960s.
