Nora has killed her lawyer husband, whom she blames for the death of their child. She flees to a small town outside of Toronto. An ad lures her to rent a cheap apartment, where the landlord Henry lives in the next unit. Henry, lonely and mentally troubled, is helpful to Nora. Beneath his charm is a desire to manipulate women. The author's debut novel shows how predators assume many different guises and how we meet them everyday. Terrifying and essential, Dwelling brings forth a confident new literary voice to the trade.
