House of Lies
About This Novel
The Sandel family is an enviable family of three. On Saturday night, a horrific murder occurred at the playground. Neighbors witnessed the Sandel family's young daughter. The girl was arrested, but a different version of the truth emerged. The intricate multilateral relations weave an airtight world of lies. Father Adam: I am a father and "honesty personified in the world." My deepest fear is not being able to protect my family. In that late night that changed everything, when I saw my daughter sneaking into the bedroom with wet hair, when I saw that bloody blouse-I had to make a choice. Daughter Stella: Everyone thinks I am sick, even my family. I couldn't be the perfect daughter my father expected, and I frequently made my mother run away feeling depressed. We are a seemingly ordinary family, but everyone hides unfathomable secrets. What's even more ridiculous is that Chris died and I messed everything up. Mother Eureka: I have never been a good mother. I had tried hard, but when I saw Stella sitting in the dock, I realized: my failure was so complete and unforgivable. When I looked at my daughter with empty eyes in the court, the emotions that had been colliding with each other in the deep tunnel for a long time suddenly found an outlet: I will do anything for my family.
