It moves in and around you like a ghost. I feel lucky to have experienced it' -- Daisy Johnson - author of Everything Under  In the archives of the national library, a researcher named Linda sees a nine year-old girl's face in the pages of a yellowed newspaper, and the seed of an obsession is planted in her mind.  Birgitta Sivander was brutally murdered one night in May 1948. The culprit was never found. Linda feels a deep connection to Birgitta, and in the months that follow she compulsively researches the case.  Meanwhile, a life is taking root inside Linda; she is to have a daughter of her own. As she grapples with the wonder and anxiety of motherhood, she gradually pieces together Birgitta's story, closing in on the possible killer.  Driven to redeem a lost child, Linda must find a way to lay Birgitta to rest. Moving and unputdownable, The Eighth House is a shattering examination of why cycles of violence persist, and an invocation of the hope that new life brings.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48189983785179,"sku":"9781804185315-RETAIL","price":21.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781804185315-us-300.jpg?v=1769398682","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781804185315-retail-the-eighth-house-a-mother-a-murder-an-obsession","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
