Suspense Psychological
All her life Vera has felt like a stranger in the old and
drafty half-timbered farmhouse she arrived at as a
five-year-old refugee from East Prussia in 1945, and yet she
can’t seem to let it go. Sixty years later, her niece Anne
suddenly shows up at her door with her small son. Anne has
fled the trendy Hamburg, Germany neighborhood she never fit
into after her relationship imploded. Vera and Anne are
strangers to each other but have much more in common than
they think. As the two strong-willed and very different
women share the great old house, they find what they have
never thought to search for: a family. Told in skillfully crafted alternating points of view and a
nonlinear storyline, Dörte Hansen’s internationally
bestselling debut novel This House is Mine showcases her
impressive talent for characterization and dialogue in an
exceptional book that combines emotional depth and humor.
The author’s sparse language and sometimes oblique
references make for a deeply immersive reading experience,
and the characters will resonate long after the last page
has been turned.
