NEXT ON “IT GIRL”… EPISODE 6 -Veronica’s friends try to convince her to give Dexter a chance: Layla reached out, took my hands and looked into my eyes. “You’re fighting it, Veronica. Let yourself go. Put away the journalism credibility outfit and let the wave take you where it wants. Stop thinking with your head and follow your heart. Give the guy a chance.” “I’m not fighting anything.” “Yes you are,” said Savannah. “Everyone can see it but you.” -The irresistible force meets the immovable object: “Don’t you ever let a woman take the lead?” “On the dance floor, no.” “How about off the dance floor?” He shrugged. “Depends on the woman.” -And the big story Veronica breaks leaves her in a no-win situation and with a life-changing decision to make: Layla reached over and took my hand. “In all the years I’ve known you, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so emotional.” “I think this is the first time in my life I have absolutely no clue about what to do,” I said, wiping my eyes.

An utterly charming and tender story of the disparate tenants of a Brooklyn brownstone and the community they form around their ageing landlord when their home is suddenly threatened. Within a charming, if dilapidated, Brooklyn brownstone live a family of sorts: beautiful agoraphobe Adeleine, who surrounds herself with the past; Thomas, an artist who has shut away his materials in the wake of a stroke; Edward, a cynical stand-up comedian mired in depression and Paulie, a young man with William’s Syndrome, a disease that grants him the irrepressible cheerfulness of a six-year-old. Brought together by ageing landlady Edith, the tenants all live safely in tune with each other, even if they do keep to themselves. But when their home is suddenly and violently threatened, they are shocked into action. Infinite Home is a poignant story of how a community is built and torn apart, and how when lives interweave a beautiful and unusual tapestry is made.

This novel is set in the border country where Scots and English raided for centuries, committing atrocities that would be war crimes today and leaving the land reeking with blood and smoke. On the face of it, everything has changed. Nowadays cosy pubs sell real ale to discerning tourists and employ gourmet chefs, decrepit houses are restored by loving owners, fat geese graze village greens where quaint cottages are lush with clematis and roses. This is the Garden of Eden and that is the appearance, but Moffat is from farming stock; she has lived for most of her life in wild and wilderness country and her antannae are charged in every isolated village. As Sherlock Holmes pointed out: "the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."
