Grace et Andrew, frère et soeur, se sont toujours bien entendus. Lorsqu'ils héritent de la maison de leur grand-mère, il leur paraît naturel d'y emménager ensemble. Mais quand le compagnon d'Andrew s'installe à son tour, la vie dans la maison tourne au conflit. Pour échapper aux tensions, Grace, l'universitaire, se plonge dans un manuscrit du début du XXe siècle, jamais publié en raison de ses thèmes "subversifs". Elle y découvre l'histoire d'un frère et d'une soeur, lui homosexuel, elle mère célibataire, confrontés à la violence du regard de la société. Lorsque la vie des trois colocataires est bouleversée à son tour, au fil de sa lecture, Grace voit se télescoper les époques en un écho glaçant.

Work Description
When their grandmother dies, Grace and Andrew Easton inherit her sprawling, book-filled London home, Dinmont House. Rather than sell it, the adult siblings move in together, splitting the numerous bedrooms and studies. The arrangement is unusual, but ideal for the affectionate pair--until the day Andrew brings home a new boyfriend. A devilishly handsome novelist, James Derain resembles Cary Grant, but his strident comments about Grace's doctoral thesis soon puncture the house's idyllic atmosphere. When he and Andrew witness their friend's murder outside a London nightclub, James begins to unravel, and what happens next will change the lives of everyone in the house.
