ROOM FOR A STRANGER: Melanie Cheng

ROOM FOR A STRANGER

by Melanie Cheng

This is one of those simple stories that holds on to you and won’t let go. Meg is an elderly Australian living on her own. Feeling vulnerable after her home is robbed, she decides to homesharewith Andy, a student from Hong Kong whose parents have gone into debt to enable their son the education they never had. What unfolds is less a friendship than all of what it means to be human and to connect with compassion. Sometimes the simple stories are the sweetest.
