The House

Meer over het boek

Perched on a hill overlooking San Francisco, a magnificent house built in 1923 by a wealthy Frenchman for his beloved now stands in disrepair. Sarah Anderson, a sensible estate lawyer, unexpectedly finds herself drawn to this old mansion after inheriting a generous sum from an elderly client, along with a message to use the money for something wonderful and daring. Despite her workaholic nature and a steady but unfulfilling relationship, Sarah feels a powerful connection to the house's history, including the story of a woman who once lived there and the drama that unfolded in war-torn France. Taking a leap of faith, she enlists architect Jeff Parker, who shares her passion for restoring the grand home. As they work together to revive its beauty, Sarah navigates the complexities of her personal life, experiencing both heartbreak and new beginnings. Through this journey, she uncovers profound truths about the dying man's last gift, the extraordinary legacies passed through generations, and a future she never envisioned. In a tale of daring and hope, the narrative explores one woman's courageous choice to invest in a dream and the unexpected rewards that follow.
