Based in two timelines and in a small town in Ohio, we are treated to tale of a house capable of creating dreams in its occupants.
The dual plot and storyline are typical of the Hollywood glamour days of the 1950s: handsome young leading men, glamorous yet often selfish young leading ladies, romantic dalliances with Hollywood types as well as local types, and a good deal of partying. As it switch between the 1950s and 2015, readers are provided hints about what went on in St. Jude, Ohio, during the filming of a movie in this midwestern town.
There are several books in this story: the secret life of a house, a paranormal, a coming of age, coming out, coming to terms story, and a novel about love, depression, finding family, and maybe another about race, gender identity, class and discrimination.
This book is part mystery, part family drama, part romance and a little bit of suspense thrown in or as a blurb on the back of the book describes it - "cinematic".
