Blackbird House by Alice Hoffman

“This was an easy read, tracing the lives of the various occupants of an old Massachusetts house over a span of two hundred years. I expected that the house would play more of a lead role given the summary, but the pear tree and the blackbird were just as strong of a thread through the stories of the families who lived there as the house itself was. I enjoyed the story–it left me wanting a little more.”
