Description

This novel spanning over two hundred years is the story of one house and the amazing people who lived there on the high ground in Cumberland County. Along with tales of lost fortunes and lost loves, The Queen Anne House tells of people who came to Nova Scotia for a new start, to escape devastation or avoid prosecution.

The saga begins in the 1770s and ends in the 1950s. For over two hundred years the house itself recounts the lives of the families who lived inside its walls. The cast of characters includes Lydia, who refuses to even cast a glance back at her former life. There is beautiful Myra, who with a flick of her wrist can have you dragged away from the races. There is the doctor who saved many along the shore but couldn’t save his own children, and Ruth, who is falsely accused of misdeeds with the truth only revealed at her funeral.

The house also speaks of craftsmen who improved life for many, as well as men of wealth and others of extreme poverty. Some of the families were made up of honest, hardworking people; some were thieves who hid their loot in the Cobequid Mountains. Throughout, the story of love and loss is told in a most unique and unusual way that is both innovative and revealing.
