Here, living and working in the spaces that have birthed the country's leaders, she is both outsider and insider, and she can't shake the feeling that real life is happening elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEight months later, she finds herself in London. She's landed a temp contract at a society magazine and is paying £80 a week to sleep on a stranger's sofa. Summer rolls on, and England roils with questions around its domestic civil rights: Brexit, Grenfell, climate change, homelessness. Meanwhile, tensions with her flatmate escalate, she is overworked and underpaid, and the prospects of a permanent job seem increasingly unlikely, until finally, she has to ask herself: what is this all for?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncisive, original, and brilliantly observed, Three Rooms is the story of a search for a home and for a self.
