"Family drama and cultural conflict are the twin engines that drive this atmospheric novel, in which a daughter returns to Greece to uncover her mother's secrets, and ends up discovering as much about herself as she learns about her inscrutable relatives. The Clover House is both an intriguing personal mystery and a compelling meditation on the ties that bind.” Eleni Gage, author of Other waters

“Layered and complex, The Clover House is a provocative examination of family secrets and the things we inherit. Henriette Lazaridis Power immerses the reader in a world of tradition and resilience, creating characters who linger long beyond their final pages. This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.” Brunonia Barry, author of The lace reader
