A dark comedy about lodgings, lovers, and mother-daughter bonds that falter across time and tenancies.

A
woman returns to the small English town she grew up in to live in a
sublet that overlooks her mother's house. Much as she'd like to be a
good daughter and build a meaningful existence, she is instead haunted
by her childhood self--and by the rented room she has just left. She
imagines its new occupant, whose negotiations of the same household and
its knotty relationships echo and eerily confound her own.

It may
be an unhealthy obsession or an imaginative release from her own
problems she cannot quite bring herself to define. She is increasingly
arrested in the same recursive loop: If we cannot advise our past self
with the benefit of hindsight, can we at least counsel those who follow
us?

The dramas of temporary living--a lack of privacy, the
transactional nature of renting, and the lasting effects of
impermanence--are turned out in this this irreverent, experimental, and
boldly stylish novel that examines a life lived in other people's
spaces.

"This stylistically eccentric novel holds a pressing, political truth."--The Guardian

"Holly Pester is a genius and The Lodgers gets into everything that matters."--Kate Briggs, author of The Long Form
