Summary: "The House of a Thousand Candles" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Glenarm, who learns of his grandfather's death and inherits a property under strange conditions that require him to spend a year living at the unfinished Glenarm House in Indiana. The narrative explores themes of obligation, inheritance, and the complexities of family relationships as John grapples with his past while adapting to his new surroundings. At the start of the novel, John Glenarm is in Naples when he receives a letter informing him of his grandfather's death and the peculiar stipulations of his will. The will demands that he live in the mysterious and incomplete Glenarm House for one year; failure to comply would result in the estate going to a woman named Marian Devereux, a relative through a connection to a nun. John arrives at the house, encountering a complex mix of emotions as he deals with memories of his grandfather and mysterious occurrences, including an apparent assassination attempt. Through the opening chapters, his interactions with the enigmatic caretaker Bates and the intriguing landscape hint at deeper secrets surrounding his inheritance, capturing the reader's interest in the unfolding story.
