Grange House
Every summer Maisie Thomas has come with her parents to
Grange House, a hotel on the coast of Maine overseen by
the elegant and inscrutable Miss Grange, who resides in
the topmost story. The enormous house has always thrilled
Maisie, appearing to her like something from old novels.
But in the summer of 1896, the seventeen-year-old Maisie
arrives restless and longing for her life’s story to be
different from those she has found between the covers of
many books. As if in answer, the secrets of Grange House
and its attic inhabitant begin to wrest free of their silence.
Rich with the details, customs, and language of the era,
Grange House is part family saga, part ghost story, part
love story: a wonderfully atmospheric, page-turning novel
of literary suspense and romance. It is the tale of the
many stories—familial and literary—in the house of fiction
that women must unlock and abandon in order to inhabit their
own.
