About Louise
Louise Candlish was born in Hexham, Northumberland, and grew up in the Midlands town of Northampton. She studied English at University College London and lives in Herne Hill in South London with her husband and daughter.

It is published on 7 August 2018 in the US (Berkley).
Louise's novel The Sudden Departure of the Frasers (2015) has been optioned for TV by Hartswood Films.

About Our House
When divorcees Fiona and Bram agree to bird's nest custody, they think the biggest problem they'll face is each other. But when Fiona shows up at the house one day, she'll find her children and her husband are gone and a new family is moving into the house. Without any word about where they went, Fiona will have to sort through the mess of lies her ex-husband told if she wants to get her family back.
“I loved the wonderful hook of Our House, which plays with our modern obsession with property—and the vulnerability that exposes. Louise Candlish is a great writer; she inhaled me into her nightmarish world where everything we think we know is ripped from under our feet.”—Fiona Barton, New York Times bestselling author of The Widow
“An artfully plotted, affecting page-turner…a truly killer climax.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
