In 1984 a rather itinerant family the 22 year old Eve and her 6 year old son Daniel (who have been moving at random around the country after fleeing their Derbyshire home when Eve was born), rent the house next door to a “rambunctious” family of four: the mid 30s Sherry, her 15 year old and more serious husband Leslie, their introverted 9 year old daughter Rae and her more conventional 6 year old sister Pauline.

Never shying away from what is hard or painful, these poems keep rebellion as their lodestar, conjuring an energy which shines with wit and compassion. Eve, for example, was such a centric part of the book but her character was given a weird send off (not a spoiler).

There are elements of how challenging it is running a business with a bits of Fawlty towers humour thrown in. Interestingly and for reasons not really clear to me the place descriptions in the UK – which also include the Norfolk coast, Derbyshire and Pembrokeshire – appear to be completely generic. Just wonderful' ― Nigel Wellings, psychotherapist and author of Nothing to Lose, Why Can’t I Meditate?This is a story about family, secrets, desire and duty, as well as a sensitive portrayal of the realities of homelessness and mental health. The Lotus Readers ‘I loved this wonderful book so much, it made my heart sing and is all about love, kindness and being around people that accept you for who you are.
