The Bedford Guide for Writing Tutors by Lisa Zimmerelli
If you have lived in an apartment community you may indeed appreciate this book for its characters and humor. Graham Place Manor will take you immediately into the lives of the staff, and residents of this grand old apartment home. The occupants of Graham Place Manor come in all shapes and sizes with an assortment of personalities. You will meet the illusive and sometimes vindictive Uncle Tom, the concierge staff including the sarcastic Devaney, and the Brazilian, Jose. From his position in maintenance you will see the rise to management of Shane Sullivan, and meet his wife Maeve. In all you will meet people ranging from Celts to New England Wasps, and rumors of a ghost's appearance only add to the confusion that comes out of the day to day running this complex place. This is a work of fiction, but it will make you aware of many possibilities that may arise in apartment living.
