In Blackbird House, beloved novelist Alice Hoffman weaves a web of tales, all set in a small farm on the outer reaches of Cape Cod. This place is as bewitching and alive as the characters we meet: Violet, a brilliant girl in love with books and a man destined to betray her; Lysander Wynn, whose life changes with the arrival of a boarder wearing red boots; and Maya Cooper, who discovers the true meaning of love between her parents.

From the British occupation of Massachusetts to the modern world, families are inexorably changed by the people they love and the lives they lead inside Blackbird House. These interconnected narratives are as intelligent as they are haunting, as luminous as they are unusual. The past both dissipates and remains within the rooms of Blackbird House, filled with terrible secrets, inspired beauty, and a spirit of coming home.

Welcome to Blackbird House, a glorious travelogue through time, fate, loss, love, and survival.
