When Clara inherits her grandmother's crumbling farmhouse, she discovers a handwritten book of household tales hidden beneath the floorboards—stories her grandmother never published. Each tale mirrors a family secret: a brother lost to the river, a mother's unspoken grief, a father's quiet disappearance. As Clara reads on, the stories begin to shift, predicting events before they happen. Blending domestic realism with the haunting cadence of old fairy tales, Household Tales is a luminous novel about inheritance, memory, and the stories families tell to survive—and the one story Clara must finally rewrite to set herself free.
