Beschreibung

Something about your generation I've noticed, she said not unkindly once I had fallen silent, is that you give up very easily. <br><br> Autumn 2018. A young woman starts a job as a research assistant at Oxford. But she can't shake the feeling that real life is happening elsewhere.<br><br> Eight 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. As the summer rolls on, tensions with her flatmate escalate. She is overworked and underpaid, spends her free time calculating the increasing austerity in England through the rising cost of Freddos. <br><br>The prospects of a permanent job seem increasingly unlikely, until she finally asks herself: is it time to give up?<br><br>**A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR **________________________________<br><br>PRAISE FOR THREE ROOMS<br>'I was bowled over by this barbed, supple book...spiky, unsettling.'
