The House of Small Repairs
When a catalogue editor takes a temporary job restoring the records of a collapsing country house, she finds that the building’s history has been quietly altered in the paperwork for decades. Each corrected entry seems to change the house itself, and the missing details begin to collect in the walls, the mirrors, and the people still living there. What looks at first like administrative negligence turns into a very patient haunting.
