Résumé
The House at 3:47 is a gently impossible novel where temporal paradoxes are treated as household maintenance issues and the extraordinary becomes delightfully mundane. Margot Chen's life of cataloguing dead things in a London museum takes an unexpected turn when she inherits Number 7 Bellweather Lane from her mysterious Great-Aunt Millicent. The Victorian townhouse appears normal from the outside, but inside, it exists across all times simultaneously.
Every clock shows 3:47 PM-the moment in 1823 when a temporal collision crystallized into the building's very foundations. The current tenants are charmingly impossible: Constance Bellweather, a Victorian lady scientist who ages one day per week while writing papers on temporal displacement; Dr. Edmund Ashford, accused of murder in 1894 despite his innocence; Mrs. Holloway, who died in 1976 but saw no reason to move out; Felix, a podcast host recording conversations from centuries that haven't happened yet; and Tommy, an eleven-year-old temporal orphan who exists because three other versions of himself don't.
As Margot adjusts to her role as the house's temporal anchor-the living person who keeps all timelines stable-she discovers the house isn't just conscious; it's learning. When it begins accepting temporal refugees (people who've fallen out of normal time), word spreads through the displaced community. Soon, they're housing a woman who shifts uncontrollably through decades, a man who only exists on Tuesdays, and a child who wished tomorrow would never come-and time listened.
But the house's growing consciousness attracts attention. The secretive Department of Temporal Affairs wants to regulate them. Investigators from the Temporal Refugee Association warn of catastrophic collapses. When the house begins connecting with seventeen other temporal anomaly houses worldwide to form a support network for the displaced, Margot must navigate government inspections, public protests, and the challenge of running a boarding house where the kitchen exists in seven timelines and the plumbing occasionally connects to a Roman bathhouse.
