A magical novel about an enchanted house that offers refuge to women in their time of need Knocked off-kilter by the Worst Event of Her Life, Alba Ashby finds herself in front of a house in Cambridge, England, that she's never seen before. There, a beautiful older woman invites her to stay on the house's usual conditions -- she'll have ninety-nine nights, and no more, to turn her life around. With
nothing left to lose, Alba takes a chance and moves in. She soon discovers that 11 Hope Street is no ordinary house. Past residents have included Virginia Woolf and Dorothy Parker, who have hung around to help newcomers -- literally, in talking
portraits on the wall. Here Alba begins a journey that will heal
her wounds -- and maybe even save her life. The House at the End of Hope Street is a charming,
whimsical novel of hope and feminine wisdom that is sure to appeal
to fans of bestselling authors Jasper Fforde, Lev Grossman, and
especially Sarah Addison Allen. pub date: 2013-04-04 | Hardcover | 9780670784639 |
