About this title

Review:

"Utterly fascinating. Totally absorbing. A magical blend of historical fiction and modern day suspense, The House of The Wind is a marvel of the esoteric. An entrancing and enchanting novel that combines myth and folklore, past and the present, mystery and romance, and clearly cements Hardie's burgeoning reputation as a literary conjurer." --M.J. Rose, internationally bestselling author of The Book of Lost Fragrances

"Addicting.... Hardie has merged Under the Tuscan Sun with Erin Brockovich into a story both heavily atmospheric and thematically hypnotic." --Publishers Weekly (starred)

"At times lyrical, the tale of Maddie's journey will charm those who are enraptured by the Tuscan mystique." --Booklist
