A fascinating novel about a house with a fanciful little turret, built by a river. The tumultuous events of the twentieth century - from war to economic collapse, the deaths of presidents and princesses to new waves of music, art, architecture and political ideas - all leave their mark in some fashion upon the house and the people who call it home. Unfolding within its rooms are lives of event and emotional upheaval. A lot happens. Meanwhile, a few meters away, another creature follows a different, slower rhythm. And beneath them all, the planet moves to its own immense geological time. With insight, wide-ranging knowledge and humour, this novel explores the same territory as its non-fiction twin, The Villa at the Edge of the Empire. Writing in a city devastated by major earthquakes, Fiona Farrell rebuilds a brilliant, compelling and imaginative structure from bits and pieces salvaged from one hundred years of history. A lot has happened. This is how it might have felt.
