The House

Leland Bardwell

Cedric Stewart returns from London after the Second World War to visit his dying father in the family home near Killiney, Co. Dublin. Divorced, and estranged from his Anglo-Irish parents with their 'stiff Protestant notions', he finds renewed solace in Theresa, the Catholic housekeeper whom he has loved since he first knew the meaning of love. Through flashbacks to his childhood and to previous trips back to this house with which he has a love–hate relationship, Cedric tries to recover a sense of his own place in the world.
