The house had history. Perhaps "too" much history.
362 Belisle Street is a homeowner's dream. A nice neighborhood,
close to schools, new hardwood oors, unique original detail. So why
then, wonders real estate agent Glenn Darnley, won't this charming
property stay off the market? Perhaps the clawed feet of the
antique bathtub look a little too threatening. Or maybe it's the
faint hospital-like smell of the room off the top of the stairs.
It's possible that the haunting music that pours out from under the
steps keeps the residents awake at night.
In the three parts of Susie Moloney's hair-raising novel "The
Dwelling, " ownership of 362 Belisle changes four times -- with
Glenn Darnley brokering each deal. The rst occupants are a young
couple, Rebecca and Daniel Mason, who have big dreams of wealth and
success. It doesn't take long for them to realize that they're not
welcome in their new house. After a ghostly seduction and a violent
confrontation, the property is once again for sale. Next comes
Barbara Parkins, a divorcee, and her unhappy young son, Petey.
Lonely and looking for companionship, the two nd comfort in some
new, playful young friends. When the Parkins family leaves, the
house is sold again. Last, ownership goes to Richie Bramley, a
drunken writer and lost soul. But like the others, he can't settle
down in this house -- which has a mind, and a heart, of its
own.
For Glenn, however, the house is a dream, always warm and
welcoming. The oors gleam, and sun pours in through the windows.
Owners come -- and 362 Belisle makes sure owners go. It's waiting
patiently for its beloved to realize how much it loves her. It's
waiting for Glenn, the very special person who can nally turn this
house into a home.
"The Dwelling" is clever, scary, and ultimately moving. It's a
novel for everyone who ever spent time looking for "just the right
house.
