Distraught that her academic career has stalled, Alba is walking through her hometown of Cambridge, England, when she finds herself in front of a house she's never seen before, 11 Hope Street. A beautiful older woman named Peggy greets her and invites her to stay, on the house's usual conditions: she has ninety-nine nights to turn her life around. With nothing left to lose, Alba takes a chance and moves in. She soon discovers that this is no ordinary house. Past residents have included Virginia Woolf and Dorothy Parker, who, after receiving the assistance they needed, hung around to help newcomers-literally, in talking portraits on the wall. As she escapes into this new world, Alba begins a journey that will heal her wounds-and maybe even save her life

      There's a house at the end of Hope Street, a haven for women in crises. You won't find it unless you need it, but when you do, you're invited to stay for 99 nights, during which the house nurtures you and guides you on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Elizabeth Sastre gives an eloquent delivery of this magical story. When Alba stumbles onto the house on the eve of the worst day in her life, she's pulled into its enchantment. Previous visitors, like Florence Nightingale and George Eliot, speak through their portraits to share their wisdom with residents. Sastre's serious tone and concise enunciation bring a sense of realism to the magic. N.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
