Farthest House
Farthest House is a novel full of mysticism and the healing power of self-forgiveness and love.
When Willow is born and her mother dies moments later, only the narrator of this spellbinding debut novel knows the death isn’t from complications of childbirth. Amelie-Anais, buried on the Nebraska hilltop where the family home resides, tells the story of deceit, survival, and love from beyond the grave.
Following Willow’s life and Willow’s incredible passion for painting despite loneliness, a physical handicap, and being raised by a father plagued with secrets, Amelie-Anais weaves together the lives of four enigmatic generations.
With her great craft of writing, award-winning author Margaret Lukas will transport you into the story and the lives of these families.
The setting of the story is in Nebraska in the 1920’s.
Farthest House is haunting and eerily beautiful.
