Description
In a bustling urban hotel, an Indigenous chambermaid moves through the “red rooms” of other people’s lives—cleaning, listening, and quietly imagining what came before. As she works, the hotel’s past guests rise in her mind, revealing intimate stories shaped by displacement, resilience, and the everyday negotiations of identity. Blending lyrical observation with a deeply human perspective, the novel explores how memory lingers in spaces we think we’ve left behind. Through her compassionate, imaginative storytelling, Cherie Dimaline turns a routine job into a powerful meditation on belonging, history, and the unseen lives that share a single address.
