Set in the 1940s and 1950s in Winnipeg, Manitoba, A House Full of Strangers is a collection of fictional short stories based on true tales about Ukrainian immigrant landladies, their families, and those who rent rooms from them.

After surviving the Great Depression, many Ukrainian immigrants left the heartache of farming and went to Winnipeg to try their luck. To supplement their income from blue-collar jobs, some rented rooming houses, and hoped in time they would own their own. And then there were those who added to their rental income by selling homebrew.
