There is no bliss to be found in Bliss House. In Old Gate,
Virginia, stands a grand house built by Randolph Bliss, a charming
New York carpetbagger who, in 1878, shook off dire warnings to
build his home elsewhere. For the ground beneath Bliss House is
tainted with the kind of tragedy that curses generations, seeping
through the foundation and sowing madness in its wake. His first
and second wives, and his young Japanese mistress, Kiku, bear
witness to Randolph's growing insanity with stories of his cruel
manipulations and their desperate struggles to find happiness for
themselves and their children. Their desire to live and love and
even take revenge also fills the house, triumphing even over death.
Spanning half a century, The Abandoned Heart is the prequel to
Charlotte's Story and Bliss House, forming a trilogy of southern
Gothic novels in which one haunted house begets haunted lives that
echo over centuries. A haunting so powerful that even Bliss House's
destruction cannot kill it.
