Set in 1920s Penang, The House of Doors weaves together love, betrayal, and political turmoil through the lives of a British woman and her visiting friend, a celebrated writer seeking inspiration. As secrets from the past resurface—some personal, others drawn from a sensational trial involving a Chinese revolutionary—each character is forced to confront the blurred boundaries between truth and storytelling. Richly atmospheric and layered with history, the novel explores the power of memory and the stories we choose to tell.
