Riassunto

Building Jerusalem takes place on New Year's Eve, 1899, in the Grange, one of the grandest houses in Toronto. Now the home of the celebrated writer Goldwyn Smith, it is to be the scene of a New Year's party for four auspicious guests: Karl Pearson, the German statistician, Augusta Stowe-Gullen, a medical doctor and suffragette, Silas rand, a missionary among the Nova Scotian Micmac Indians, and Adelaide Hoodless, a domestic scientist. But when their host is delayed, the four guests find themselves instead with his beautiful niece, Alice, who devises a series of songs and games to help her uncle's guests pass the time more easily. Little do they all know what suprises lie in wait as the new century creeps closer, and the stroke of midnight arrives with a terrible and beautiful revelation.
