“The House of Whispers” by Laura Purcell is a Mysterious historical novel that intertwines Cornish folklore with a tale of mystery and the paranormal. The story unfolds in two timelines, one following Louise Pinecroft, whose family has been destroyed by consumption, and the other forty years later with Hester Why, who arrives at Morvoren House to care for the now partially paralyzed and mute Miss Pinecroft.
