About the Book: When Mona moves into a rundown apartment building, she expects to leave as soon as possible. Years later, a free-rent arrangement gives her the chance to save money and finally escape—provided she avoids her eccentric neighbours. But as she becomes increasingly involved in the lives of the people around her, the broken-down building begins to feel like home. Warm, witty and heartfelt, Natalie Sue’s novel is a charming story of found family, community, friendship and belonging. Exploring the places we try to leave and the people who make us want to stay, this laugh-out-loud contemporary fiction celebrates unexpected connections and the meaning of home.
