About this audiobook
1963: At the stark and isolated modernist mansion of controversial political philosopher
Richard Acklehurst, the glittering annual New Year party has not gone quite as planned.
C onsidered a genius by some, and something far darker by others, by the end of the
evening Acklehurst will be dead in mysterious circumstances that are never fully
explained. And although the popularity of his work waxes and wanes over the coming
years, a core of acolytes remains true to his vision.
1999: Richard Acklehurst's remains are defiled in the country graveyard where they have
lain undisturbed for over thirty years, forcing his daughters - Aisling and Stella, teenagers
at the time of his death - to return to their childhood home where they must finally
confront the complex and dark dynamic at the heart of their family.
Moving from the West of Ireland, to Dublin, London, Florence and back, The Whispering
House is a captivating and compelling tale of two sisters and their secrets, of love, regret
and vengeance.
