A House Built on Secrets
The chain around Maggie's ankle has left permanent marks, testament to countless failed escape attempts. From her attic prison-once a cherished "crow's nest" bedroom-she watches neighbors living ordinary lives through dusty shutters. Arthritic Elsie tends her roses, pregnant Louise collects mail, the paperboy makes his predictable rounds. These glimpses of normality only heighten her isolation. The house itself mirrors their fractured relationship: kitchen and lounge on the ground floor, bedrooms on the first, and Maggie's attic space looming above like a tower in a dark fairy tale. Every Tuesday at precisely six, Nina arrives with her ring of keys. She removes the shorter chain only to replace it with a longer one, allowing Maggie the illusion of freedom to reach the dining room and bathroom. The clink of metal serves as background music to their stilted conversation. After dinner, the shorter chain returns, and Maggie retreats to her attic prison. "I've bleached your toilet bucket and will see you in a couple of days," Nina announces with clinical detachment, leaving precisely portioned meals outside the door. A photograph of Maggie's husband Alistair watches from the wall, deliberately positioned just beyond her reach. Their marriage feels like a dream from "a hundred years ago." The books Nina provides-carefully selected biographies of historical captives with escape chapters strategically removed-mock her predicament. Like their protagonists, she has become a prisoner in what was once her sanctuary.
