John-Paul works as a kitchen porter, the older children attend school and proud Rosie is determined to keep up appearances. Her life is a small triumph of weary optimism over bitter experience. Every day she works her way through a council list of temporary accommodation trying to find somewhere to stay for a week, a few days or even one night. The endless telephone calls become a kind of mantra that starts with hope and ends in dejection. Sarah Greene carries Paddy Breathnach’s Dardennian thriller as a newly evicted mother of four, send round in increasingly desperate circles by a heedless non-housing system.
