Hannah's House ReviewHANNAH'S HOUSE is a heavy book, both in terms of length (I'm guessing it's about 110,000 words) and heft in the hand. Because it's my habit to read last thing at night before bed, I was reluctant to begin the book, knowing it would take me a month or so to finish it...wrong. My normal 10-15 pages an evening quickly became 30-50 pages. This indicates how absorbed I was by the lives of Iris and Hannah--two protagonists separated in time by over a century but connected by place (the remains of Hannah's late-nineteenth century log dwelling are discovered by Iris behind her own twenty-first century tract house). The two homes meet a similar fate but with radically different outcomes for the women. It is the buildup to the outcome that made this a page-turner for me. Iris, divorced and vaguely involved with a man, is troubled by her grown daughter's distance and reluctance to provide Iris with a phone number or mailing address. Hannah and her mother, on the other hand, live and work together. The mother-daughter relationships explored in this book were intriguing and believable for me (I have a grown daughter). I could feel how Iris was perplexed and hurt by her daughter's choices, and at the same time understood and approved of the daughter's desire to have an independent life. Likewise, Hannah and her mother had a closeness I longed for with my own mother. Allen writes with the strength and clarity of someone born to the pen, and with wry humor when she's in Iris' point of view...a running commentary on life in the new millennium for a single professional woman. Allen's broad knowledge on topics as diverse as forestry, academia, and accelerants made this a particularly enjoyable read for me--I love learning as I'm entertained by a good story. I highly recommend this wonderful book!Hannah's House Overview
