  Book: Chateau Laux  Author: David Loux  Rating: 5/5 Review: Chateau Laux hits differently if you’ve ever felt the weight of family history. Lawrence’s story reminded me that no matter how far we try to run, our past—and our family’s past—has a way of catching up with us. He starts off trying to build a future, but ends up stumbling over old secrets he didn’t even know existed. The relationship between Lawrence and the Laux family is the heart of the novel. Their warmth is what draws him in, but it’s also what breaks things apart when memories and buried truths resurface. I found myself wondering how often families hide pain behind smiles and traditions. David Loux weaves this tale so naturally that you don’t realize how deep it goes until you’re already in it. The château becomes more than a building—it’s a symbol of hope, history, and regret all at once. This book is a strong reminder that healing isn’t always about forgetting. Sometimes, it’s about facing the hard tru...

His devotion to his family stands out: first, he saves his brother Simon from dying, and now he's doing everything he can to give his mother a chance at a normal life.

They had plans to travel back to 1999 to stop him from losing his job—a pivotal event that set off a chain of trauma and hardship for their family. By changing this moment in history, they hope to give their mother a happier childhood and a more stable present. I loved how thoughtful and selfless Miles is when it comes to his family. The book’s cover is also striking—it’s sure to catch the eye of any reader. If you're a fan of richly imagined worlds and time travel adventures, this is a m...
