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.Kathleen Alcott's Infinite Home is a humorous adventure through the lives of a unique Brooklyn community. This top-rated literary fiction is a testament to the best storytelling, where every character is a thread in a beautifully woven tapestry.For fans of Lauren Groff (The Vaster Wilds)
