Book Title: Homebody Author: Orson Scott Card Category: Fiction/Thriller Pages: 430 Summary: Far from my favorite work by Orson Scott Card. One of the weirdest stories I have read, but Card does have a way with imagery that makes the story better. The story is about a man named Don Lark. He is your model older fellow, |
Upon moving into the house to start renovation, he meets a strange pair of old
women next door. They tell him that it would be best to just destroy the house,
because it has mystical powers. Of course he doesn’t believe them and
continues his work.
Soon he finds there is a girl that has been living in the house. At first she annoys
him but soon he ends up looking at her like a daughter. As the story goes on
things start happening in the house that he blames on the girl. When in fact she
doesn’t do any of them. The mystery of her starts to unravel, when he finds
a secret tunnel down in the basement. When he goes in he finds the girls dead
body, and learns that it is just her spirit in the house.
Finally Don sees what he has to do. He loses the girl he came to know as a
daughter, but saves the women next door, by destroying the house and its
hold on people.
