A house with multiple paths

Author: Diana Wynn Jones Publisher: Taqween Publications Publication Year: 2023 Genre: Story and Novel "Living in a house full of magic is not an easy matter, as you know." This is Aunt Sempromia's will to Sharmeen, the heroine of the third and final part of Howl's Trilogy. Sharmeen is taken to manage the affairs of the wizard house of High Norland, the elder brother William, upon the recommendation of Aunt Sempromia. Sharmeen was raised well by her parents, the Baker family, but they were overly protective, keeping her away from everything in order for her to become a "respectable" girl. She did nothing but read books, burying her nose in them all the time. Therefore, she seeks to realize her dream of joining the King of High Norland and his daughter, Princess Hilda, in their library classification. Sharmeen learns simple things in the wizard's house, such as washing dishes, tidying the house, and the art of laundry—she should not wash a red apron with white clothes. She tries to be kind to Wiff and Peter, who teach her many things, even though he cannot distinguish between right and left. In the small house—seemingly—with its single door leading to various places, Sharmeen discovers many hidden talents. She is a natural witch, able to stop water from bursting out of cracked pipes, fly in the meadow, confront the Lobooc, uncover the deception of the goblin Rollo, and protect the kingdom alongside her dog Wiff. Living in the wizard's house was not an easy matter, as Sharmeen concluded, but she discovered herself and other people she would never have known if she hadn't stayed there. Most importantly, she learned about life as she had never known it before.
