About This Book

A woman takes rooms in a small, secluded London by-street and negotiates the house’s physical details, neighbors, and everyday domestic smells and sights. Encounters with a landlord and other residents prompt awkwardness and recollection, while the narrative lingers on sensory impressions—light, dust, painted ceilings—and the slow accretion of quiet routines. The work unfolds as close, impressionistic observation of inner reactions to ordinary urban life and domestic change.
