| Summary | "Yesterday House" by Fritz Leiber is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story explores themes of time, identity, and the consequences of obsession, as it takes readers through a chilling narrative that blends elements of mystery and psychological drama. The plot revolves around a young man named Jack Barry who, while exploring secluded islands, encounters a girl named Mary Alice Pope who believes she has lived a sheltered life in the early 1930s, unaware of a darker truth about her existence. The narrative unfolds as Jack learns that Mary has been raised by her aunts in a bizarre and isolated environment, marked by secrets and manipulations from her past. As he struggles to convince her of the truth—that she is, in fact, a clone created by the brilliant yet disturbed biologist Martin Kesserich—tension mounts as they face the wrath of her aunts, Hani and Hilda. The story delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the haunting repercussions of playing god, ultimately challenging the characters to confront their identities and the nature of reality itself. As Mary grapples with her existence and Jack fights to free her, the novel poses profound questions about the ethics of scientific experimentation and the human heart's relentless drive for connection.
