痴测丑木补诲谩惫补苍颈别
A little boy called Oliver moves into an听old house with a modern extension, where he lives in a luxury flat. He could use听a private lift if he wished, but he prefers听to go up and down the dingy stairs, where he loves to read and where he meets听his new neighbours. He is a year older听in each successive story. In some, he just flashes past; in others he is the central character. Everybody knows him, although they often don鈥檛 know each other.听The tenement鈥檚 inhabitants would prefer to be islands, but this isn鈥檛 possible. They have too much in common. Stairs, steps, and holes in the ceiling.
The main themes of the book are neighbors, relationships, intergenerationalism and otherness.听
