This baby, originally named Serenity Lamb, was Libby. A baby was found in a crib upstairs, alive, clean, and well fed. One day, in 1994, three adults-Henry Lamb, Martina Lamb, and David-were found dead by poisoning, presumably due to a cult-related suicide pact. Libby finds an article that explains how a group of adults and children lived in the house. She quickly learns that the house has a dark past, and the novel follows Libby as she unravels the house’s mystery. Libby doesn’t know much about her biological family because she was adopted as a baby. Alternating third-person chapters follow Libby and Lucy’s lives as adults, alongside Henry’s memories of growing up in a mansion in Chelsea in the late 1980s and early 1990s.Īt the beginning of the novel, Libby is a 25-year-old woman living in London when she receives a letter indicating she has inherited a mansion in Chelsea that belonged to her biological family. The Family Upstairs tells the stories of three characters: Libby, Lucy, and Henry.
