In January, we are
discussing The Family
Upstairs by Lisa Jewell. This title is available as an ebook or eaudiobook from DownloadLibrary.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby
Jones returns home from work to find the letter she's been waiting for her
entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am

but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks
of the Thames in London's fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions.
Everything in Libby's life is about to change. But what she can't possibly know
is that others have been waiting for this day as well—and she is on a collision
course to meet them.

note. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone.
