"[An] incandescent first novel." -The New Yorker "A Good Houseis a deep read.

Synopsis
To grasp the inner meaning of the Book of Numbers, one has to comprehend the innate energy of the desert as a spiritual vacuum. More than just a physical environment, the desert represents the darkness of our ego that we are meant to overcome in order to bring the Light into our lives. It is the ego that we are ultimately enslaved to as it hides in our fears, doubts and limitations. As the Israelites who were led by Moses from bondage to the land of Canaan, we too can take control of our own journey by understanding the concepts of slavery and freedom. The purpose of this book is to bring the Creator's Light into the desert" in which the world finds itself. The stories guide readers to the Spiritual Promised Land — which is their true destiny., A Good House begins in 1949 in Stonebrook, Ontario, home to the Chambers family. The postwar boom and hope for the future color every facet of life: the possibilities seem limitless for Bill, his wife Sylvia, and their three children. In the fifty years that follow, the possibilities narrow. Sylvia's untimely death marks her family indelibly but in ways only time will reveal. Paul's perfect marriage yields an imperfect child. Daphne unabashedly follows an unconventional path, while Patrick discovers that his happiness requires a series of compromises. Bill confronts the onset of old age less gracefully than anticipated, and throughout, his second wife, Margaret, remains, surprisingly, the family anchor. This extraordinarily moving and beautifully crafted first novel was a number one bestseller in Canada where it won one of the country's most prestigious literary awards, the Giller Prize, in 1999.
