Every house tells a story. Every woman has a story to tell.

25 Library Terrace is a house in Edinburgh where lives are changed.

In 1911, new resident Ursula Black embraces women’s suffrage in the form of census protest, discovers vegetarianism, and learns just how difficult it can be to bring up someone else’s children.

In 1931, the house becomes part of a radical experiment in a different way of living, and a family secret from the past is uncovered.

In 2011, Tess Dutton needs somewhere to live in the wake of a failed relationship and is introduced to a rather unusual landlady.

In 2022, delayed by the pandemic, it’s another census year for Scotland, and as Edinburgh’s residents are able to gather once more, the strands of four generations at 25 Library Terrace are finally woven together.

25 Library Terrace is a deeply satisfying novel about strong and determined women who grasp their own destiny and help other women to grasp theirs. At its centre stands the house, a reminder that however our lives change over the years, the things that matter – love, kindness, stories and good recipes – stay the same.

Every house tells a story. Every woman has a story to tell. 25 Library Terrace is a home in Edinburgh where lives are changed. In the census year of 1911, Ursula Black takes stock of the social changes happening around her and is determined to transform her world for the better. When the household is supportive of Ursula’s ideas, if a little surprised, she seizes an opportunity to embrace women’s suffrage, vegetarianism and the complicated challenge of building a new family. Twenty years later, during the Great Depression and after the 1931 census is completed at 25 Library Terrace, a radical suggestion takes root and the house gains a new purpose. Ursula’s ideals are revived, and a startling secret that has been lying dormant is discovered. In 2011, a century after Ursula Black first moved in, it’s Tess Dutton’s turn to push open the green front door and discover the legacy of this unusual Edinburgh villa that offers a fresh perspective, and fosters truth, trust and fairness. This is a deeply satisfying novel about strong and determined women who grasp their own destiny and help others to grasp theirs. At its centre is the house, and a reminder that however our lives change over the years, the things that really matter – love, kindness, stories, good recipes – stay the same.
