The Museum of You was not my usual reading genre but I really enjoyed the book. The characters were likable and the story was really well written. Will be reading more from Carys Bray , excellent writing style , would recommend to all

The Museum of You was a great read. It is a beautifully written story about love, loss, parenthood, friendship, family and growing up. Bray writes with such tenacity and clarity that you find yourself getting lost in the words and the stories of the characters she presents to you. The physiological depth she bestows upon the characters is admirable and for the majority of the book I truly felt like I was in Clover and Darren's minds - which led to a deeper empathy and understanding of their feelings and intentions.

I love, love, loved it! Great style of writing which was crammed with detail yet easy to read. The characters are well drawn. The image Clover has about her mother from the objects she finds are revealed to be so very different when you learn the facts from her dad. I liked the museum exhibition idea - I never knew about all the work involved. I finished this yesterday (couldn't put it down at all) and despite it seeming a light read, I can't stop thinking about Becky. Her story is so intriguing. Such a sad and preventable death too. I will definitely be reading 'A Song for Issy Bradley'. Thank you so much Mumsnet for my copy.

I loved this book, a charming, sweet story, portraying hope, happiness, love, all in the face of grief. I liked the way it was told from two viewpoints, Clover aged 12, and her dad, Darren, a bus driver in Liverpool. There was also comedic input from the deaf old lady next door. A thoroughly enjoyable story and I am now intending to read 'A Song for Issy Bradley'

I absolutely loved 'A Song for Issy Bradley' so was delighted to receive a copy of 'The Museum of You' - thank you MN!

Carys Bray captures the voice of a 12 year old girl so beautifully you never doubt the authenticity. Clover Quinn tells her story of the events of her summer holiday as she tries to find out about her mother. Raised by her father since she was a baby, she had no memory of her mum and very little information except the odd nugget she manages to glean from the eccentric collection of friends, family and neighbours that surround her. As she sorts through the piles of stuff in the bedroom, she attempts to build a picture of her mum. At the same time, her father Darren, tells his version of the summer and the narrative switches seamlessly between the two as the messy nature of the various relationships are revealed. It's funny, warm and touchingly honest and a book I will definitely be recommending.

Oh, and the avid declutterer in me was itching to order a skip and get my hands on the house.

Just got my copy - looking forward to reading it!! Thanks Mumsnet.
