Book Reviews
Hilarity/tension ensues when a family is forced to spend a weeklong quarantine holed up together at Weyfield Hall, their aging country estate in the English countryside. Tensions are high already, but when an unexpected guest shows up, all issues are forced out into the open.
New York Post


Hornak’s smart, delightfully funny, page-turning debut takes a posh, dysfunctional British family … slaps on a week’s worth of quarantine at Christmastime, and adds…a large helping of humor.… [S]pot-on insight about human nature.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) Hornak's brilliant debut manages to be simultaneously clever, funny, and poignant, as the Birch family is forced to spend an isolated week in the country during the holidays.
Library Journal


(Starred review.) Alternately tender and razor-sharp, Seven Days of Us will resonate with anyone who regresses the minute they step inside their childhood home.
Booklist


Hornak skillfully juggles each character's distinct point of view and creates a family that readers will grow to love.…An emotional but ultimately uplifting holiday story.
