Title: The Anthill - Jenny Valentine - book
Summary :
No one really chooses to live at 33 Georgiana Street. The building is located in an unappealing part of London. The apartments are tiny, dirty, and dilapidated. Electricity and rent are paid weekly. The only advantage of the place: Steve, the landlord, doesn't ask questions. For a 17-year-old runaway, the place is ideal. Sam took refuge in London because here, no one knows who he is or what he's done.
Cerise and her daughter Bohemia are two other new tenants who move around at the whim of Cerise's boyfriends. At 10, Bohemia is on her own, as her mother is far too fragile and lost to be able to take care of her daughter. At 33 Georgiana Street, people avoid interfering in other people's affairs. But Bohemia is about to shake up life in the building. She needs a friend, and she's chosen Sam.
