The First House

The First House is a haunting, evocative novel that explores the painful undoing of a seemingly perfect marriage. The story begins when a woman’s life is shattered after her husband unexpectedly walks into their bedroom and demands a divorce. Left stunned and stranded with her two young daughters in an unfamiliar suburb, she feels her world completely unraveling.

As she sifts through the wreckage of her past, she begins to confront the subtle warning signs she chose to ignore for years. In The First House, her personal grief becomes woven with myth, memory, and nature—intertwining visions of vengeful goddesses and celestial patterns with the reality of her broken relationship. Set against the backdrop of a summer marked by a rare cicada emergence, her crisis mirrors the natural world: a painful, necessary process of dissolving before she can transform.

Intimate and brilliantly written, The First House captures the emotional weight of betrayal and self-discovery, charting one woman’s journey through heartbreak toward a new identity.
