The House is the tale of
a woman, who is so absorbed with historical novels that her own reality ceases to offer any
hope of romance and beauty.
One day this dreamy
idealist finds herself in a mysterious forest. How she arrived there is
unknown. She encounters a ramshackle house, wherein magical rooms that
transport to parallel worlds lay in wait.
She is transported to historical England, where she interacts with a
collection of character's whose dysfunctional lives become apparent
immediately.
The first tribulation
involves a nefarious lord, an archetypal embodiment of the monstrous creatures
that often haunt fairy tales. The ramification of this confrontation sets the
tone for the narrative.
Before long, the folly
of disdaining her mundane reality is realized, and she desires desperately to
return to her former predictable life.
A hidden portal finally
enables escape from the austere Georgian dwelling. She is spirited back to the
enigmatic house, where a journey to Regency London ensues. A large cast of
eccentric identities present themselves.
One day a handsome,
despondent poet arrives, following a period in Florence. His introduction to
the time traveler offers promise of restoration and love. But upon the face of
it, and much to his chagrin, this union cannot be consummated. There are a few
more obstacles ahead before her destiny in this strange adventure is made
apparent. In the end a past life connection starts to reveal itself. And like all good fairy tales, the ending is
pleasing, even though the means of getting there are dark and at times,
sinister.
