Great House

Brief Overview

The novel «Great House» by Nicole Krauss tells the story of several characters connected through a single object—a massive writing desk. Each character has their own story tied to loss, memory, and the search for meaning. The desk, once owned by a famous writer, becomes a symbol of the connection between the past and the present, as well as between people whose lives intertwine through it. The book explores themes of loneliness, loss, and the quest for understanding, showing how objects can hold stories and influence people's lives.
