Behind the walls of wealth and privilege, darkness waits. At Luggala, an estate of inherited grandeur, Calypso Fortnum-Guinness drowns her loneliness in whisky and fading memories. Her husband has vanished in a jet that never returned, her lover has taken his own life, and her son is raised not for her love, but for the family’s legacy. Surrounded by scheming relatives and suffocated by expectation, she clings to the past—even as her future slips away. Meanwhile, Joel Leonard Flower, drifting between the shadowy reaches of addiction and the grip of government operatives, fights to keep control of his own identity. Betrayed, manipulated, and used, he finds himself locked inside the corridors of power and rehabilitation, where every choice comes with a price. In My White Room is a haunting tale of love and betrayal, wealth and ruin, addiction and survival. For readers who savor literary fiction steeped in psychological depth, family secrets, and the quiet violence of human frailty, this novel offers a story as intoxicating as it is unforgettable.
