Very soon she discovers there are five spirits living in the house, who all share something in common. The reason they are there, and have not moved on, is the direct result of their own choices. Now however, their choices are being put to the test.Will the residents of the house manage to free themselves from the ties that bind them and move on, or will those walls continue to be their fortress?The House of Lost Spirits is an original, ecstatic bildungsroman which oscillates between the surreal and the mystic-fantastic all the while touching in a deliberate, witty and sad way upon life and death and the extremes between fate and choice, this world and the afterworld, and above all, the story of a journey of self-exploration.
