In 'The House in Paris', Elizabeth Bowen introduces us to Henrietta, an eleven-year-old girl who arrives at the Fishers' residence in Paris without knowing the secrets the house holds. Her visit coincides with that of Leopold, a child who has come to meet the mother he has never seen. Over the course of a single day, the mystery surrounding Leopold, his parents, Henrietta's agitated hostess, and the dying matriarch in the upstairs bed slowly comes to light. A timeless masterpiece of nuance and atmosphere that represents the very best of Bowen's work.
Elizabeth Dorothea Cole Bowen was an Anglo-Irish novelist and short story writer notable for her books about "the Big House" of Irish landed Protestants as well as her fiction about life in wartime London.
