Twelve Houses
The Twelve Houses is a four-book contemporary Australian series about the people who live behind neighbouring doors but rarely know the full stories unfolding on the other side. Set across four Melbourne communities—West, East, North and South—each novel follows the residents of twelve homes, using a different cultural zodiac tradition as a structural and thematic framework. Through relationships, family, friendship, conflict, loss and unexpected connection, the series explores how very different people can become a community when the place they call home brings their lives together.
