The House at the End of the Linen Road
In 1890s Belfast, a widowed seamstress takes work in a decaying merchant house where the family’s private grief is stitched into the fabric of daily life. When she finds evidence that the house’s prosperity was built on a buried betrayal, she has to choose between silence, survival and telling a truth that could ruin the only place offering her shelter.
