"I have informed my neighbours – Crispin and Polliver, Applewick and Mr. Chope – that you will be staying. Please make yourself at home. I have provided a supply of Murgatroyd's comestibles."

The Clay Coalman needs someone to house-sit his apartment in the Clay Quarters. But life on Chalcedony Square is regulated by its tyrannical clock; its inhabitants imprisoned in lonely routine. An unexpected visitor might be just what’s needed to turn strangers into a community.
