“I devoured the hell out of this wonderful novel about three different women in the same house across the decades, dealing with unhappiness and doubt in their own, often wild ways. I loved the careful, compassionate way Stewart crafted these characters - it drew me in completely to their stories.”

– Amber Sparks, author of And I Do Not Forgive You

Was loneliness an emergency?” Abigail Stewart asks in this novel, rich in atmosphere and detail. It certainly becomes one for the women in Foundations, paradoxically connecting a searching 1950s housewife, an aging actress in the 1980s, and a young home renovator in the present day. As Stewart explores repetitions and recurrences over time, you keenly care about these characters who are linked by one particular house that may or may not be able to contain their desires and their dreams.
