Mere House Whispers – Kobo eBook

Nadia Bell is dismantling her mother’s bed when she hears Salma speak from an empty alcove. Salma is alive in a hospital across London. She remembers saying those words. Nadia was a child, and the room looked different then.

Mere House is closing. Its residents are packing up, and two households need the same accessible flat. As more voices surface, a remembered kindness gives Nadia a reason to listen again. Then a fragment from the past threatens to decide where somebody will live.

Something in Mere House remembers what people said. It knows exactly when to stop speaking. When Nadia hears words that could protect her mother, she has to decide whether to repeat them, knowing what they leave out.
