Winner: Eyelands International Book Awards, Published Novel (2021).

When April moves into Hummingbird House, she is intrigued by her mysterious landlord, Dai.

With a bruised heart and a distinct lack of furniture, she spends the summer getting to know the other occupants. As she smartens up her home and makes peace with her recent past, she befriends Paul, a solitary ex-chef, and Betty, an elderly lady who lives in the basement flat.

But Hummingbird House holds many secrets, and the relationships of the tenants are not as straightforward as they seem. April learns some shocking truths one eventful night, and realises that victims and villains can look the same.

The Landlord of Hummingbird House is a contemporary novel exploring unlikely friendships, unexpected love interests, and family relationships. Here, everyone is in need of a second chance - and appearances can be deceptive.

"An honest and heartfelt novel of personal connection, layer by layer. Jane Harvey's The Landlord of Hummingbird House is a story of the quiet yet biting sense of imposter syndrome... cosy and warm while addressing real discomforts, regrets, and traumas. From heartbreakingly empathetic characters to descriptive settings, this novel will tingle your senses and stir up your sympathy." Independent Book Review
