The House of Echoes

Two sisters return to the country estate where they spent a traumatic summer decades earlier, in this haunting novel of silence and secrecy.

When Mab and Nessa’s mother died and their father disappeared to New Zealand, their lives changed forever. But the loss of their parents wasn’t the only thing that cast a shadow over their childhoods . . .

Twenty years later, when Mab and Nessa receive the news of their estranged father’s death, it stirs up a storm of long-buried memories and emotions. As they navigate their complicated grief, the sisters are forced to confront the disturbing events of the fateful summer they were sent to stay at Lowlands, the sprawling country estate of their father’s first wife.

When they return to Lowlands, the walls of reserve that have kept the past hidden begin to crumble. And when the truth emerges, it proves more complex and devastating than anyone could have imagined.

The House of Echoes is a gripping novel about the ties that bind us, the secrets that divide us, and the healing that comes when the truth is finally revealed, by the acclaimed author of A Parting of the Ways.
