Wolf Bells by Leni Zumas
On a bluff above a river, The House is an experimental intergenerational home run by a former punk singer where elderly and disabled residents live alongside young people who trade help for rent. When two children, Nola and her cousin James, arrive seeking refuge, the fragile community must face outside pressures—authorities, money troubles—and reckon with the obligations and limits of care. The novel follows the tangled, often funny and painful dynamics of this chosen family as it tests whether everyone can find a place to belong.
