House Party
"a party that's not to be missed"
-Kirkus Reviews
A novel by Jeanne Farewell
On a visit to an old friend's B&B in Vermont, Sadie Putnam has an unexpected encounter with a man she once knew. What she had hoped to be a restoring country weekend turns instead into a conflict that brings to the fore the painful past she wanted to forget. Her fellow guests seem to have more clarity on other people's problems than their own, and what began as a simple house party becomes a series of revealing and transfiguring encounters.
- "Farewell’s novel feels much like a play as she skillfully sets the stage and populates her narrative with witty and complicated characters. The cozy Evergreen Inn is the perfect backdrop for scenes full of nuanced character development and well-scripted dialogue. Olivia, for example, is a Pandora’s box of judgment, ego, and hypocrisy who incessantly pecks at her retiree spouse. Yet Farewell manages to balance Olivia’s flaws with characteristics that render her admirable and even likable at times. Throughout the novel, the author provides ample opportunities for the characters to hash out their problems and air their grievances, peeling away the complicated layers of emotions like a chef with a sharp paring knife. This insightful study of relationships is a party that’s not to be missed." -Kirkus Reviews
