Özet
 From the author of The Bright Years, the story of April and Leo, a couple on the brink of collapse. When their house goes up in flames, family secrets and thorny histories emerge as they are forced to decide what is worth salvaging.

When April and Leo's house burns in the middle of the night, they escape with their two young children and the quiet knowledge that the fire is not the only thing threatening their family. They retreat to April's childhood home in Dallas, where her spirited parents and siblings provide both comfort and complication.

As the family reckons with the aftermath - grief, guilt, logistics and memories scorched and intact - the fire exposes the cracks already forming in April and Leo's marriage. The novel unfolds in alternating perspectives: from April, who feels the crushing weight of motherhood, marriage and self-blame; from Leo, a high school history teacher shaped by a lonely, fractured childhood; from Deb, April's generous and no-nonsense mother who has to contend with her husband's recent Alzheimer's diagnosis; and from flashbacks that trace April and Leo's relationship from its earliest days of connection to the devastating decisions that led them here.

A family saga suffused with humour, longing and heartbreak, The Burning Side is about what we inherit and what we choose, about forgiveness and the ache of being known. It is, above all, about the meaning of home and the costs of long love.©2026 Sarah Damoff (P)2026 Simon & Schuster Audio Samimi

I think I’d have liked this book slightly more if I’d read the physical copy. The narrator’s made me dislike the already annoying main characters even more. But I really didn’t care about anyone.

Irritating narration

Not really for me but a nice story I guess. Loved Deb but couldn’t really connect to the other characters. Leo’s voice slightly annoyed me as he has a sort of arrogant tone with the odd Texas twang. Not sure if the accent mix was intentional. It’s a story about life and its ups and downs and that’s about it.

Average story for me
