Synopsis

"Luminous. Unfolding its story through shifting perspectives, To Will a House is at once a ghost story and a rich, immersive evocation of childhood memory, fascinatingly composed and written with fragile beauty."
—John Madden, Director of Shakespeare in Love, Proof, and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

"Read To Will a House to savor the vigor of its language, the multitude of perspectives, including those of the house itself that has no will but can only know. Thomson is a fluid and completely captivating story-teller."
—Rebecca Kaiser Gibson, The Promise of a Normal Life

A PENINSULA OFF THE COAST OF MAINE, LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2022

Pruitt's Neck Farmhouse was built in 1860 on sacred Penobscot land. Since then, it has seen inhabitants ebb and flow, archiving their stories in its interior. Bess Coleman bought the farmhouse in 1918. Three generations of Colemans have since inhabited the space, leaving memories in unseen places. When sisters, Emily and Corinna, get the call that the house has finally been put on the market they must make the decision to revisit or bury the past.

Structured as a will and told from the perspectives of multiple characters, including the House, this lyrical tale follows the unfolding of a family’s trauma across time and place—beginning and ending with a Penobscot community on Maine’s southeast coast.
