About this book
A grieving plasterer cuts openings in seven sealed houses, creating a refuge where each new passage changes the balance of power.
Stratford, 1593. Plasterer Kristen Hicks lives with the death of her young son, caused by a reckless opening through a quarantined wall. Still working in secret, Kristen connects seven homes under plague quarantine so the occupants can survive together. Each breach follows the building’s limits, changes the balance between families, and leaves a permanent scar. Freedom requires the most painful act: bringing down Kristen’s own home.
