The House That Belonged to Everyone

Five doors. Five families. One house.When architect Clara Vale inherits an isolated yellow house from a man she has never met, she expects an ordinary problem: inspect it, sell it, move on.Then the owners begin to arrive.Each carries a key. Each has a deed. Each remembers living there. And each is certain that the house belongs to them.Their documents are genuine. Their memories are precise. The problem is that none of their houses are the same.Inside, rooms refuse to stay where they should. Walls appear where staircases once stood. One person's kitchen occupies another person's childhood bedroom. The deeper Clara goes, the less useful measurements become, until she begins to suspect that the house is not hiding its history.It is preserving it.And somewhere inside its impossible architecture is a memory that belongs to Clara herself.The House That Belonged to Everyone is a haunting novel about home, memory, grief, and the things we try to keep long after they were meant to change.
