This week I've been mainly reading, no. 151.

Holly Pester's short novel The Lodgers (2024), is a timely mediation on the unanchored life of the peripatetic life of the renter/lodger. At times elliptical, with two narratives whose relations remains unsettled, this is a book which offers a real feeling for a key element of modern life; moving from one lodging/rental to another. While at time wry, it remains elegiac in its approach to tenant's despair & longing.

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon if you're into crime thrillers (I don't know if you are) you might like Lesley Kara's The Other Tenant, where the characters are property guardians.
