The House at 3: 47

By Ian Mclaren

Every clock in the house strikes 3:47-no matter the hour.

When Margot Chen inherits a crumbling Victorian townhouse in London, she expects dust and leaky pipes. Instead, she discovers Number 7 Bellweather Lane exists in all times at once. Its tenants are impossible:

- A Victorian scientist who never ages past thirty-four.
- A ghost who still pays rent.
- A boy who walks between centuries like hallways.
- And Constance Bellweather, resident since 1894, who insists the house itself is alive.

As Margot takes on her role as the house's "temporal anchor," she's drawn into a world of temporal refugees, government inspectors, and the lurking threat of "might-have-beens"-people who were never meant to exist. The question isn't whether time can be fixed. It's whether everyone-no matter what century they belong to-deserves a home.

Fans of time-twisting fantasy, gothic houses with secrets, and found-family stories will love The House at 3:47.

Perfect for readers of Diana Wynne Jones, Susanna Clarke (*Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell*), Neil Gaiman, and V.E. Schwab (*The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue*).

Keywords: time travel fantasy novel, Victorian London mystery, gothic house fantasy, magical realism, temporal paradox, found family, supernatural suspense.
