In "The House of Doctor Dee", Peter Ackroyd weaves a haunting dual narrative that bridges centuries. Matthew Palmer, a modern-day historian, inherits a mysterious old house in Clerkenwell, London. As he explores its shadowy corners, he uncovers the legacy of one of its former occupants—John Dee, the enigmatic 16th-century alchemist, astrologer, and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I. Palmer becomes increasingly obsessed with Dee’s life, sensing the house itself is a vessel of memory and magic. The story unfolds in parallel timelines: Palmer’s present-day investigation and Dee’s own Renaissance-era reflections. As the two men’s lives begin to mirror each other, the boundaries between past and present blur. Ackroyd’s radio adaptation captures the eerie atmosphere of the novel, blending historical intrigue, metaphysical speculation, and psychological depth. It’s a chilling meditation on time, identity, and the haunting persistence of place.
