The award-winning author of A Century of November explores the lives of three women—separated by decades but connected by one house.
 
When Vera decides to travel to an old house in the New England countryside for a month-long escape from some devastating news about her daughter, she has no idea her life is about to change forever. It begins innocently enough—peeling the old wallpaper from the walls as a favor to the house’s owner. What she discovers underneath—written in India ink on the very walls of the house by a woman named Beth, in 1919—is the beginning of the reader’s unsettling crossing into the unknown world underneath the paper.
 
The Writing on the Wall is a brilliantly realized journey into the connected lives of three women whose stories span a century, linked by the house they all briefly inhabit, and by the tragedies they’ve had to endure.
 
“W.D. Wetherell is a fearless acrobat with words and narrative structures. His work, filled with humor, warmth and wisdom, asks us to re-examine our recent history.” —Chicago Tribune
 
“W.D. Wetherell has a sharp, fresh eye and a complicated view of our dislocations, pains and dreams.” —The New York Times
 
“Wetherell impressively captures a diversity of voices, telling distinct but parallel stories whose moral arcs resonate across time.” —Publishers Weekly
