I haven‘t read it, but from the description I‘d say it fits.
Has anyone read The Bitter Glass ? From the summary it seems like it applies, but I would like to be sure.
Mod
Yes, I've read it and it would definitely work.

Thank you!
Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann! It's a family saga and the family home is a major feature (or character)l.

I just started Rebecca, which I suspect will count for this one. It has multiple settings but I think it's mostly set at Manderley.
Karen wrote: "I think Troubles by J G Farrell would also work. Though it is set in a hotel, the family and many of the guests consider it their home."Just finished it. Definitely fits the definition. This is not a normal hotel, it is home to it's occupants.
Others that fitThe Turn of the Screw by Henry James
The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson
