About this audiobook
Nora Furtado came home to sell the house, not to question it. The retired librarian returns to the modest family place on Pleasant Street with a practical plan: clear the rooms, call the realtor, and leave the past where everyone had agreed to keep it. But houses remember what families work hard to forget. In the Furtado house, certain doors were always avoided. Certain phrases did too much work. A scandal became “the rough patch.” A room became “storage.” Silence became manners. And Nora, who built a life away from all of it, had long accepted the family version because it allowed her to stay clean. Now, as she moves through the house her mother ruled and her sister never escaped, Nora begins to see how much ordinary life had been arranged around something no one would name. Quiet, intimate, and unsettling, For Upstairs is a story of sisters, mothers, duty, shame, and the dangerous comfort of not asking questions.
