A Fugue in Time

From the publisher: "A different kind of ghost story, Rumer Godden’s poignant, stylistically brilliant story is rich in wonder, imagination, and heart. Sir Roland Ironmonger Dane is the last of his family to occupy the house at Number 99 Wiltshire Place in London. Now, in the early days of World War II, the elderly former general has been told that he must vacate the premises when the ninety-nine-year lease is up, leaving the only home he has ever known. But Sir Rolls and his longtime butler, Proutie, are not the only remaining residents. A century of a family’s history remains alive and vibrant within these walls, the events that defined their lives unfolding over and over again."
