The Houseshare: Uplifting summer fiction about love, friendship and secrets between neighbours
Fiona O'Brien
Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)
A sparkling summery read from the bestselling author of The Summer Visitors and The Summer We Were Friends.
'One of the smartest writers of popular fiction around' Irish Independent
Number 24 Ulysses Crescent is an elegant three-storey mansion overlooking the beautiful Dublin Bay. Converted into luxurious seaview apartments, it's now home to a close-knit group of tenants.
There's former style icon Evelyn; enigmatic sculptor Mike; hopeless romantic and cafe-owner Nessa; and Bruce and Stella, recently separated and now co-parenting their toddler from separate flats.
Then there's Morah, the caretaker, who keeps a watchful eye on everyone - especially, for reasons only known to herself, the irrepressible Evelyn.
When Evelyn's granddaughter Truth, a high-flying London lawyer, arrives for the summer, the residents are eager to get to know her - some more than others. But as the summer progresses, it turns out that Truth is hiding a secret and she's not the only one . . .
