"The Lonely House" by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Lily Fairfield, an English girl who leaves her sheltered life after the death of her aunt to stay with distant relatives, the Count and Countess Polda, at their villa in Monaco. As she seeks a fresh start on the French Riviera, the novel hints at deeper themes of loneliness, vulnerability, and potentially sinister experiences that await her in her new home. At the start of the story, Lily embarks on her journey to La Solitude, her new residence, filled with hope yet subconsciously burdened by past traumas. The opening chapters recount her vivid dreams and her arrival in the picturesque yet isolating setting of the Polda's villa. Upon meeting her relatives, Lily's initial enthusiasm is shadowed by an eerie atmosphere, strange occurrences, and unsettling interactions with the household staff and her distant relatives. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Lily's presence at La Solitude may not be as wholesome as it seems, setting the stage for intrigue and suspense in her new life.
