In My House

Product Information

The only reason they haven’t been taken out, is the government does not want to confirm they even have a need to do so. Because that would add weight and validate their claims. Why, what possible motive is worth telling the world such demeaning things about yourself, if it were not the truth. Cathy also permitted a filmed examination, I’ve SEEN IT!! that shows her mutilated, scarred vagina, with an evil face carved into it. She couldn’t have done that to herself. No money, prize, fame or reward could be worth that. Nancy, a therapist, works with her clients to help them uncover their needs and wants, and live their best possible lives. But what if doing so means hurting someone else? Houses and homes

Nancy’s love for her three children is huge and complex. They’re growing up, pulling away and becoming strange to her. Who is she, now, as distinct from them? Memory and the stories we chooseFollowing a degree in creative arts, Rebecca Whitney worked in the music industry before moving into TV and film production on music videos, commercials and documentaries. She later completed the Creative Writing Certificate at Sussex University.

Wonderfully drawn characters and a compelling story, all wrapped up in beautiful prose." - Rebecca Whitney, author of The Liar’s Chair Nancy Jansen seems to have it all: a beautiful home in London that she shares with her kind, creative husband and three healthy children; a wealth of extended family for whom she hosts parties and dinners; a successful career as a therapist. But Nancy also has a secret – she’s having an affair. Full of the most dazzling observations which, as a writer, I wish that I'd had myself." - Allison Pearson Involving and original, In My House is a book about betrayal and guilt; the smallness of our sins and the shattering enormity of their consequences… Hourston resolutely avoids the predictable, skilfully throwing the reader off-balance and creating a compelling sense of unease that shimmers unsettlingly beneath the ordinary lives she explores… a strikingly promising debut. Caustically perceptive, wryly funny, occasionally devastatingly tender, Maggie Benson is a terrific protagonist; like all the most satisfactory characters in fiction, she is both infuriatingly contradictory and entirely plausible.” - Clare Clark, The Guardian With unflinching coolness and a voice vice-grip strong, you have no choice but to listen to Maggie as she tells her story" - Sainsbury's Magazine

He had made his West End stage debut in The Happy Family at the Duchess theatre in London in 1951, but turned down various Shakespearean roles, something that may well have restricted his career on the boards. “I always worried about learning the lines,” he said. “My one regret is that I didn’t become a leading classical actor. I think it’s what you have to do, like Anthony Hopkins. He never liked working in theatre, but he did all those Shakespeare roles.” I have worked with victims of abuse (4 years counselling training in humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches/additional diplomas in bereavement counselling, pregnancy loss and rape/sexual abuse specialisms) and it’s my opinion, they are absolutely telling the truth. The novel is not perfect. Hourston’s characters have an infuriating habit of speaking with the sentences broken. In the middle. Because. That’s how people talk. The tic is distracting, breaking the flow and the tension. Her unsatisfyingly tidy ending also disappoints, its pat reconciliations undermining a story whose power has lain in its complexity and ambivalence. Are you people retarded or what? Alex Houston, who I know personally, is the nicest,sincerest man that you would ever want to meet. He is a Christian who loves the Lord. Yes, he used to dabble in hypnosis, but gave that up long ago when he realized that is not of the Lord.

America is willing to share itsHourston has a terrific sense of pace; this stunningly accomplished first novel whips along like a thriller, and presents the reader with one moral dilemma after another — what would you do? A must for the intelligent book group.” - Kate Saunders, The Times
