In "A House and Its Head," Ivy Compton-Burnett crafts a darkly comedic narrative set in the late-Victorian Edgeworth household, where beneath a façade of respectability, Duncan Edgeworth exerts a quiet tyranny over his family. The arrival of the beautiful young Alison disrupts this delicate balance, igniting rivalries over love, wealth, and inheritance as secrets and shifting alliances emerge. Emma Gregory's narration brings to life the author's sharp wit and clever dialogue, offering listeners an engaging exploration of a family's hidden complexities.
