The House at the End of Hope Street: A Novel

The House at the End of Hope Street: A Novel

A magical debut about an enchanted house that offers refuge to women in their time of need

Distraught that her academic career has stalled, Alba is walking through her hometown of Cambridge, England, when she finds herself in front of a house sheâ€™s never seen before, 11 Hope Street. A beautiful older woman named Peggy greets her and invites her to stay, on the houseâ€™s usual conditions: she has ninety-nine nights to turn her life around. With nothing left to lose, Alba takes a chance and moves in.

She soon discovers that this is no ordinary house. Past residents have included Virginia Woolf and Dorothy Parker, who, after receiving the assistance they needed, hung around to help newcomersâ€”literally, in talking portraits on the wall. As she escapes into this new world, Alba begins a journey that will heal her woundsâ€”and maybe even save her life.

Filled with a colorful and unforgettable cast of literary figures, 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 Jasper Fforde and especially Sarah Addison Allen.
