Dwelling follows Evie, a young woman left alone after the deaths of her parents and the institutionalisation of her sister, as society slowly collapses during an extreme housing crisis. When mass evictions leave renters homeless, Evie travels to a strange Texas town searching for belonging. Set in a surreal, fairy-tale-like world filled with odd characters and magical logic, the novel blends humour and existential themes to explore grief, displacement, inequality, and the human need for home, stability, and connection.
