This book had a rather familiar feel to it. The setting is a brownstone in New York. The same building features in this collection of fictional stories, each story set 10 years apart and tells a fictional account of the inhabitants of the building.
The catalyst for the stories was the author’s former residence and the contemplation of the lives of those who may have lived in the building, what their lives was like and the sort of people they were.
The stories were good and with each turn of the page I wondered if any of the story line had a glimpse of reality in relation to the characters. Specific historical events give the characters perspective and dimention. The genealogist in me hoped that there was, and if not it is perhaps a project for the future.
Well, I asked the author and tomorrow you can read the guest post and her answer to that question, amongst others.
