    About this ebook

    With rents so prohibitive in London, Diana has taken on a large Victorian house in London’s Hampstead district to share with five other people. Along the way, the house inherits a wounded, stray dog whom they decide to name, Scruffy.
    To Diana’s surprise, Scruffy takes an unconditional liking to a stranger, and Diana soon finds herself sharing a lot more than a house and a dog...
