Mary Morris, called "a marvelous storyteller" by The Chicago Tribune, returns with House Arrest—a vividly etched, engrossing story of a nation, two remarkable women, and the meaning of freedom.
House Arrest tells the gripping tale of two women from different cultures whose lives intersect at a point that promises freedom to one and disaster to the other. Maggie Conover, a travel writer on assignment in the Caribbean Island nation known only as la isla, is being held under house arrest at her hotel. The authorities are suspicious of her friendship with the island's revolutionary leader's fiery daughter, Isabel Calderon, who has disappeared. As Maggie is interrogated, bullied, and brought to a fever pitch of anxiety, she recalls Isabel's courage, her own troubled past, her longing for home, her daughter and family.
Balancing personal and political intrigue, House Arrest unflinchingly explores meanings of freedom and imprisonment, of parenthood and childhood, and the boundaries of friendship and love.
"Maggie's hopes and fears, as well as those of Isabel, estranged daughter of the island's revolutionary leader, are intimately revealed, allowing us to feel the isolation and desperation that both women experience."—Library Journal
