The House Of The White Shadows

By B L Farjeon

The house of the white shadows opens amid public uproar in Geneva, where anticipation over a murder trial has gripped the city. At the center of the case is a woodman accused of killing a young flower-seller, drawing attention not only because of the crime s brutality but due to the social tensions it exposes. As the courtroom drama builds, the involvement of a skilled advocate introduces questions of morality, justice, and the power of persuasive speech. Early chapters reveal public suspicion, emotional turmoil, and stark class divides as the accused is viewed through a lens shaped by both prejudice and sympathy. Against this legal conflict, a parallel thread unfolds at an isolated estate known as the house of white shadows, where the arrival of the advocate and his wife hints at unspoken histories and hidden motives. Their presence adds psychological depth to the story, setting up connections between the trial and secrets buried in the past. The story slowly constructs a layered examination of personal redemption and the complexity of human guilt, where truth emerges not just in the courtroom, but within the corridors of memory and conscience.
