What is Homework by Margot Livesey about?

Celia moves in with Stephen and his daughter Jenny, and small domestic incidents turn into open conflict. It is a character-driven novel about trust and jealousy in a blended family.

Is it a thriller or literary fiction?

It is literary fiction with domestic suspense. The tension is psychological rather than violent, so readers expecting a fast thriller may find it quiet.

Do I need to read Livesey's other books first?

No. It is a standalone novel and does not depend on her earlier work.

It is a short novel, readable in a few sittings, which suits book clubs and readers who prefer compact stories.

Readers who like stepfamily drama and slow-building unease, and fans of Livesey's precise prose.
