About the book
In 2016, a Detroit arts organisation grants writer and artist Anne Elizabeth Moore a free house in Detroit's majority - Bangladeshi 'Banglatown.' Accompanied by her cats, Moore moves to the bungalow in her new city where she gardens, befriends the neighbourhood youth, and grows to intimately understand civic collapse and community solidarity. When the troubled history of her prize house comes to light, Moore finds her life destabilised by the aftershocks of the housing crisis and governmental corruption. This is also a memoir of art, gender, work, and survival.
