The Mansion

From author Robert David Duncan comes a novel of artistic passion, adversity and triumph in The Mansion. Joel is new to university and big city life, while Tessa is working toward her PhD in art history. Alec and Gwen have been retreating from their previous lives as street artists. Moira is a newcomer, having been painfully jettisoned out of a marriage she realizes was an illusion. Together, they share a ramshackle old apartment house on the edge of campus.
When developers threaten to tear down their home, and a chance art discovery upends all their lives, the group battles together to save the life they have come to treasure. Add in a ghost, a cat, and a cast of supporting characters and you have a recipe for a fun and rollicking celebration of found family and shared intensities.
