This is all but random but I’m obsessed with books about house shares, big flats with all different people leading different lives under one roof essentially.
I also love illustrations of big houses sectioned into flats where you can see in the windows of all the different lives going on, kind of Janet Ahlberg style.

I’m not even sure if these illustrations exist or where this came from but I would love if anyone could point me in the direction of books like this (can be crime, chick lit etc) or prints even remotely similar to what I’m describing?

'Tale of the City' all based around a boarding house in Barbary Lane comes to mind, if you haven't read it already (also a TV series).

I think some of Chris Ware's graphic novels might feature multi-occupany houses.

And there is a song you might like on a similar theme (start from a minute in)

I know they are for kids, but Usborne sticker books might appeal?

My daughter has the Victorian house one which is gorgeous.
