Books like Dream house by Gordon Aalborg


Kaarin’s uncle, a publisher, has a demanding new project for author Jack Collier. Jack, however, has no intention of writing; instead he is busy constructing a dream house. To keep the project moving, Uncle Bill arranges for Kaarin to travel to Southeast Queensland, where Jack will dictate a novel while she types up his notes. Amid the building work, Kaarin is drawn deeper into the house’s mysterious construction, and she discovers that the house—and the emotions surrounding it—hold more than simple bricks and mortar: she finds herself unexpectedly falling for a person she never intended to love. The story weaves between the physical structure of a home and the unforeseen bonds it can forge.
