The High House by Jessie Greengrass is a mesmerizing narrative, recently shortlisted for the prestigious Costa Best Novel Award. This compelling story unfolds in a picturesque seaside village, where the line between the ordinary and extraordinary blurs, inviting readers into a world of deep emotional connections.
At the heart of this tale lies the unique residence known as the High House, a silent observer of the lives entwined within its walls. When Caro and her young half-brother, Pauly, arrive, they encounter an eclectic group: Grandy, an ailing elder, and his thoughtful granddaughter, Sally. Together, they navigate the complexities of survival and human connection during uncertain times.
This poignant narrative transcends mere survival; it delves into the beauty of human resilience and the unexpected bonds that can form amidst adversity. With praise from major publications, it's described as:
- 'Suffused with joy' - The Guardian
- 'Prophetic' - Daily Mail
- 'Deeply moving' - Good Housekeeping
Key features of The High House include:
- Beautifully crafted prose: Greengrass weaves a rich tapestry of emotion and human spirit.
- Engaging characters: Each character presents a unique perspective on vulnerability and strength.
- Rich thematic depth: The story emphasizes the importance of community and resilience.
With its award nomination and critical acclaim, The High House is essential reading for those seeking a profound exploration of life’s challenges and the transformative power of unexpected alliances.

We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
