the story opens as Lizzie, the narrator, sees Bell
Sanger in a street in London. The events leading to
Bell’s prison sentence fourteen years previously, in
1970s London, are then revealed by Lizzie little by little, while
in the present, Bell and Lizzie renew their old friendship.
Bell appeared almost from nowhere. Through her charm
and attractiveness she won the affection of Lizzie and her
friend and substitute mother, Cosette. Lizzie and Cosette,
however, knew little about Bell’s background and Bell herself
would not tell them the truth.
But Bell was not what she seemed. Inspired by the story of
a well-known book, she formed a secret, evil plan through
which she hoped to become rich. Then the plan went wrong
and ended in a tragedy which affected everyone who lived in
the House of Stairs.
Now that she is free from prison, has Bell changed or will
she continue with her old ways?
B A C K G R O U N D A N D T H E M E S:
The House of Stairs is a rich and complex psychological
thriller, not a conventional detective story, in which Vine
explores the events that lead to a murder. The truth about the
tragedy is gradually revealed as the story jumps backwards
and forwards in time. You cannot stop turning the pages.
The book is ‘psychological’ because the author is
i n t e rested in how things happen as a result of the
personalities of her characters, and in what it takes to push
someone over the edge into committing a terrible crime. She
shows us how seemingly insignificant events can lead certain
personalities into disaster.
At the same time, it is a complex book because as a reader,
you do not know what is important and what is not, even
though you have been given all the information you need. You
know something is going to happen but you don’t know what,
when or to whom. But if you read the book for a second time,
you will see things in a quite different way.
One way in which Vine achieves these qualities (for which
she is well known) is to use one of the main characters, Lizzie,
as a first person narrator. But Lizzie is not very reliable: she
often interprets events in ways that are either half or
completely wrong. While mostly we do not doubt Lizzie’s
word, the cleverness of the writing enables us to see that
sometimes the truth may lie elsewhere. For example when
Lizzie’s father comes and talks about the future (on page 32),
Lizzie fails to understand Bell’s look. We, however, feel sure
we know what Bell is thinking because of what we know
about her character. This technique, in which the reader often
feels she knows more than the narrator, creates an almost
unbearable tension.
An important aspect of the psychology in the book is an
exploration of the mother and daughter relationship and what
happens to people when, through some irony of fate, their
mothers are absent. Lizzie and Bell are both ‘motherless’.
Lizzie replaces her own mother, lost to her because of a fatal
illness, with Cosette, who becomes the person most
important in her life and who then, tragically, disappears so
that Lizzie loses a mother for the second time. Bell’s mother
failed to prevent her child committing an evil crime, setting in
chain a pattern of behaviour which will repeat itself
throughout Bell’s life.
In a sense Bell and Lizzie have both lost their way morally,
apparently through the loss of their mothers. What can stop
Bell from committing another crime? Although Bell is wicked,
this does not seem to matter to Lizzie. It is clear that she still
loves Bell.
