The Whistling Poet

by Camille Varenne

A laundrette becomes the estate's only warm refuge - until visibility brings management and police to the door.

Rosie's small laundrette is the only reliably warm room on a hard estate. At night, its plastic chairs fill with people who have nowhere else to go. Jaro, a homeless poet who whistles old tunes and tapes scrap verses to the wall, turns the space into a quiet ritual. When a short video draws outside attention, Rosie must choose what to save: her mother, her licence, or the warm corner everyone depends on.

Planned for publication as an eBook and paperback.
