A disturbing and moving collection' - Chris Power, author of Mothers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Paradise Block, mould grows as thick as fur along the walls, alarms ring out at unexpected hours and none of the neighbours are quite what they seem. A little girl boils endless eggs in her family's burnt-out flat, an isolated old woman entices a new friend with gifts of cutlery and cufflinks, and a young bride grows frustrated with her unappreciative husband, the caretaker of creaking, dilapidated Paradise Block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a haunting sense of place and a keen eye for the absurd, these thirteen surreal stories lure us into a topsy-turvy world where fleatraps are more important than babies and sales calls for luxury coffins provide a welcome distraction. Lonely residents live in close proximity while longing for connection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alice Ash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43175198982387,"sku":"9781788165556","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781788165556.jpg?v=1662071550","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/paradise-block-alice-ash-9781788165556","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
