Searching…
It seems like mutual good luck for Abigail and Dara when they meet at university and, despite their differences, become fast friends. Years later, they remain an unlikely pair: Abigail, an actress who confidently uses her charms both on and off stage, is reluctant to commit; Dara, a therapist, throws herself into every relationship with frightening intensity. Yet each seems--another stroke of luck?--to have found "true love"--Abigail with her academic boyfriend, and Dara with a tall, dark violinist.
Soon, however, trouble threatens both relationships and the women's friendship. Through four ingeniously interlocking narratives, Margot Livesey skillfully reveals how luck--good and bad--plays a vital role in our lives, and how our childhood legacies may be harder to leave behind than we hope. "Vibrant, evocative, irresistible" (Los Angeles Times), The House on Fortune Street offers a surprisingly provocative detective story of the heart, one that will keep you in its thrall.
