After a run of misfortune, portrait artist Nilda Ricci could use a stroke of luck. She seems to get just that when she inherits a shadowy Victorian, designed by an architect whose works were said to influence the mind— supposedly, in beneficial ways. At first, Nilda’s new home delivers multiple gifts, including the unexpected appearance of a housekeeper who’ d helped maintain the home for years. Also, Nilda finds herself falling for a handsome neighbor, a chemist whose herbal tonics boost her creativity to new heights. But as Nilda seeks revenge-by-painting against a contempt-worthy portrait subject, she begins having strange experiences in the house, making her wonder whether the place is haunted or whether its architect’s intentions were less than benevolent. She also begins to suspect that her neighbor, and his gifts of tonics, aren’t what they seem. All along, the housekeeper seems to be looking out for Nilda. But in time she reveals needs of her own, which may prove more powerful than anything in the house … or beyond it.

Beth Castrodale is the author of the novels Marion Hatley, which was a finalist for a Nilsen Prize for a First Novel from Southeast Missouri State University Press; In This Ground, an excerpt from which was a shortlist finalist for a William Faulkner – William Wisdom Creative Writing Award; and I Mean You No Harm. She is also the recipient of an artist grant from the Mass Cultural Council.
