Description: At first glance, 362 Belisle seems like a steal -- classic Victorian, lovingly renovated. But for Glenn Darnley of Shelter Realty, selling the house proves virtually impossible. When she does manage to get a young couple to buy, it doesn't take them long to realize that they're not welcome there. They don't stay. Next, a divorcee with an unhappy young son lives there for a while. Then a drunken writer. But none of them feel comfortable. 362 Belisle is a house with a mind -- and a heart -- of its own. And although it may look empty, it isn't.

But for Glenn, the house is a dream. The house is always warm and welcoming for her. The floors gleam, and sun pours in through the windows. Owners come. And the Dwelling will make sure that owners go. It's waiting patiently for its own beloved to realize how much it loves her. It's waiting for Glenn. The very special person who can finally turn this troubled house into a home.

Divided into three parts -- one for each family that inhabits the house -- with Glenn's narrative serving as the bridge, The Dwelling is clever, scary, and ultimately moving. It's a novel for everyone who ever spent time looking for just the right house.
