Any other house will not do

Engrossing story with finely-drawn characters. They must be modeled on real people was my thought as they seem so real. Skips around in time. Effects of a mansion on all family members. Some love it; some abhor it. The house becomes an obsession and destroys the lives of some who can't help reacting to it the way they do. Take away: forgiveness. We can't help who we are. funny thing. I kept feeling that Maeve should be telling the story from her viewpoint. Anyone else feel that way?
