Publisher's Synopsis
"Dear Thrumpton, how I miss you tonight," wrote George Seymour in 1944. The object of his affection was not a young woman, but a beautiful country house - ownership of which was then a distant dream. It was a dream he pursued with obsession, and it was in this idyllic home that his daughter, Miranda, grew up. She fell in love with the place as her father before her, but soon realised she could not compete when it came to George's affections. The House took priority. Everything and everyone else was secondary, even his wife and family. In My Father's House is a riveting and ultimately shocking portrait of desire both overt and suppressed, and the heartbreaking consequences of misplaced love.
