From the New York Times bestselling author of Whiter Than Snow and Prayers for Sale comes a novel about the secrets and passions of three generations of women who have all lived in the same Victorian home called the Brideโs House.
Itโs 1880, and for unassuming seventeen-year-old Nealie Bent, the Brideโs House is a fairy tale come to life. It seems as if it is being built precisely for her and Will Spaulding, the man she is convinced she will marry. But life doesnโt go according to plan, and Nealie finds herself in the Brideโs House pregnant---and married to another.
For Pearl, growing up in the Brideโs House is akin to being raised in a mausoleum. Her father has fashioned the house into a shrine to the woman he loved, resisting all forms of change. When the enterprising young Frank Curry comes along and asks for Pearlโs hand in marriage, her father sabotages the union. But he underestimates the lengths to which the women in the Brideโs House will go for love.
Susan is the latest in the line of strong and willful women in the Brideโs House. Sheโs proud of the women who came before her, but the Brideโs House hides secrets that will force her to question what she wants and who she loves.
Sandra Dallas has once again written a novel rich in storytelling and history, peopled by living, breathing characters that will grab hold of you and not let you go.
