House of Fossils is a remarkably interesting and challenging novel. The book begins with the author finding herself in a remote town by the sea in Nova Scotia. She was supposed to spend one night there as the strong winds had brought her. She meets Saul who kindly rented her a strange house for the night; it was impossible to find anything else in the town. Saul is somewhat weird . He used to be a fisherman but no longer enjoyed his work; he now has a different conception of the relationship between the sea and the fishermen. Then a strange and shy girl named Mattie appears… but the reader soon understands what Marilène Phipps is referring to.
