House of Spies

This is the story of a man and his daughter who live in an old stone house that all the villagers say is cursed, haunted, and refuse to go near it. The man himself is old, tired and dissilusioned. But his daughter is young and full of life, and she remembers when her father was different, before they came to the house of stone. When a stranger drops in on them one night, she finds an added spark to life, and sees another side to her beloved father. (Goodreads)
