25 Library Terrace by Natalie Fergie is an enchanting, multigenerational historical fiction novel that follows the lives of successive inhabitants of a single house in Edinburgh, Scotland, spanning over a century. The book frames its narrative using Scotland’s national census years as focal points to anchor the changing domestic lives and social histories of the women who live there.
Have you ever wondered about all the people who lived in your house before you?
25 Library Terrace in Edinburgh is a house where lives are changed.
InĀ 1911, new resident Ursula Black embraces women’s suffrage in the form of census protest, discovers vegetarianism, and learns just how difficult it can be to bring up someone else’s children.
InĀ 1931, the house becomes part of a radical experiment in a different way of living, and a family secret from the past is uncovered.
InĀ 2011, Tess Dutton needs somewhere to live in the wake of a failed relationship, and is introduced to a rather unusual landlady.
InĀ 2022, delayed by the pandemic, it’s another census year for Scotland, and as Edinburgh’s residents are able to gather once more, the strands of four generations at 25 Library Terrace are finally woven together.
