Description
The House of Rest is a novel written by Bithia Mary Croker and was first published in 1921. The story takes place in the early 20th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Barbara, who is forced to leave her home in India and move to England with her mother after her father passes away. Barbara and her mother move into a boarding house called The House of Rest, which is run by a strict and domineering landlady named Mrs. Venables. Barbara struggles to adjust to her new life in England and feels isolated and alone. However, she soon makes friends with the other residents in the boarding house, including a young couple named Jack and Dolly, and a retired judge named Mr. Cholmondeley.As Barbara settles into her new life, she begins to uncover some dark secrets about Mrs. Venables and the boarding house. She discovers that Mrs. Venables has a troubled past and is hiding a terrible secret that could destroy the lives of everyone in The House of Rest. The House of Rest is a gripping and suspenseful novel that explores themes of isolation, friendship, and betrayal. Croker's vivid descriptions of the boarding house and its residents transport the reader back in time to the early 20th century, and her skillful storytelling keeps the reader engaged until the very end.
