What readers think of Housebreaking, plus links to write your own review.

While the tediousness of dismantling a house is clearly felt by the ad nauseum description of it, I was bored by the nearly unrelenting destruction of an empty life. Adela, now known as Del, finds that changing her name does not change her past. Faced with forfeiting her family home, she decides to taunt her treacherous family by moving it across a pond, piece by piece. Hubbard's writing is competent but her unbelievable plot and heavy-handed symbolic ending left me shaking my head.
