Picture an Easter weekend when tragedy strikes; a tragedy so unexpected - so devastating - that no one can talk about it.

We're giving away 50 copies of The House We Grew Up In by Top Ten bestselling author Lisa Jewell, who joined us for a Q&A to talk about her novel The Making of Us and writing career back in 2012. Described by Jojo Moyes as 'Clever, intelligent, and believable on a subject few of us really understand', The House We Grew Up In follows the unforgettable story of a family with a secret at its core.

Apply for a free copy here, we will post on the thread once all the copies have gone. Please come back here and tell us what you thought of the book, or you can post a review.

To celebrate the release of the hardback last year, we launched a competition where we asked you to post pictures of the house where you grew up. Check out our gallery of the best photos here.

This book giveaway is sponsored by The Random House Group

Fingers crossed. Just applied

Just applied. Thank you very much.

Have recently read a book with much trumpeted twists in the middle and end and I was a bit Hmm as missed one completely and then the book just fizzled out in the end. This has happened with a few books I have read. I really wish authors would have as strong an ending as beginning.

I hope Lisa's tragedy book lives up to the hype.

Thank you FlowersCake.
