The New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall and the
Delirium trilogy makes her brilliant adult debut with this
mesmerizing story in the tradition of The Lovely Bones, Her Fearful
Symmetry, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane--a tale of family,
ghosts, secrets, and mystery, in which the lives of the living and
the dead intersect in shocking, surprising, and moving ways.
Wealthy Richard Walker has just died, leaving behind his country
house full of rooms packed with the detritus of a lifetime. His
estranged family--bitter ex-wife Caroline, troubled teenage son
Trenton, and unforgiving daughter Minna--have arrived for their
inheritance.
But the Walkers are not alone. Prim Alice and the cynical
Sandra, long dead former residents bound to the house, linger
within its claustrophobic walls. Jostling for space, memory, and
supremacy, they observe the family, trading barbs and reminiscences
about their past lives. Though their voices cannot be heard, Alice
and Sandra speak through the house itself--in the hiss of the
radiator, a creak in the stairs, the dimming of a light bulb.
The living and dead are each haunted by painful truths that will
soon surface with explosive force. When a new ghost appears, and
Trenton begins to communicate with her, the spirit and human worlds
collide--with cataclysmic results.
Elegantly constructed and brilliantly paced, Rooms is an
enticing and imaginative ghost story and a searing family drama
that is as haunting as it is resonant.
