An ARC gently provided by author/publisher via Netgalley. Very aptly named.
Tan Twan Eng is a great storyteller capable of having a multitude of brilliantly hewed threads wonderfully woven into a whole. Excellently done. This House of Doors opens with a story that then opens into another story and another and another. Just like the House of Doors we visit in the book we go from one door swiftly onto another door, then another door and another .
. His threads examine the tumultuous beginning of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen, William Somerset Maugham, Ethel Proudlock and through them, marriage, betrayal, homosexuality, love, family, finding a way forward.
