The Black and White House

The Black and White House
The Black and White House

Haunted house intertwines strangers' lives in Singapore.

If you're drawn to the idea of a haunted house as a backdrop for human connections across cultural divides, "The Black and White House" could be a compelling read for you. It taps into the loneliness that comes with being in a new environment and contrasts it with local struggles, creating a richly woven narrative. You'll find yourself intrigued by how the supernatural possibly influences the characters' relationships and decisions, a suspenseful element that adds depth to this tale of friendship and adversity.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Anna is thrilled to move into a black and white house in Adam Park, confident she will thrive in Singapore, find a job, and make local friends. But echoes of footsteps in the hallways make her wonder whether rumors of the house being haunted are true. Overwhelmed and lonely in a new country, Anna slowly unravels. When Salimah, a single mother to a rebellious teenager, loses her job, she revisits Adam Park where her childhood was uprooted—a place with a dark history. Anna bumps into Salimah, and their lives intertwine in unexpected ways. Tensions rise as a ghostly presence in the house grips both women and threatens to upset an already fragile friendship.
