Snakes & Ladders
A novel by
Ray Connolly & Kieron Connolly
​
How far would you go to save your home?
For schoolteacher Jenny her basement in the River House is the perfect home, while for divorced art restorer, Richard, his attic flat is an ideal studio. So, along with the other tenants, they are dismayed when a new landlord plans to redevelop the property, and, ignoring their legal rights, demands that they leave. When they refuse, the electricity is cut off and the locks are changed.
Soon the other tenants give in to the harassing and move out, leaving Jenny and Richard to fight for their homes. But how can they take on a crooked millionaire landlord?
Then one day a conman enters their lives, and an outlandish idea starts to form. Using the conman’s expertise, could they trick the landlord into selling them the River House…using his own money?
Ingenious, charming and funny, Snakes & Ladders is a knowing take on our times.
