Summary: "A piercing howl of a novel about one young woman's endless quest for an apartment of her own and the aspirations and challenges faced by the Millennial generation as it finds its footing in the world, from a shockingly talented debut author"--
Over the course of one year, a young woman she moves from a rented room at Oxford, where she is working as a research assistant; to a stranger's sofa, all she can afford as a copyediting temp at a society magazine; to her childhood home, where she has been forced to return, jobless, even a room of her own out of reach. As politics shift to nationalism, the streets fill with protesters, and news drip-feeds into her phone, she struggles to live a meaningful life on her own terms-- unsure if she will ever be able to afford to do so. -- adapted from jacket
