The Girl in the Hall

By Angel Livingston

In the bayou, the water is inside everything. So are the ghosts.

Cora Calloway is a girl defined by what she has lost. But at Grande Ch ne, loss isn't an absence-it's a presence. It's in the cold spot at the end of the upstairs hall, the scent of river water in a dry room, and the portrait in the dining room turned perpetually toward the wall.

Set in the fading elegance of the 1910s, Cora begins to map the "cartography of permission" that defines her new home. From the efficient, armored silence of Miss Lou in the kitchen to the cryptic warnings of the locals who call the estate Grandes Chiennes, Cora is pulled into a mystery older than her own mother's departure.

The Girl in the Hall is a haunting exploration of family legacy, the weight of unrecorded names, and the terrifying cost of breaking a generational silence
