'What it said to me was that I was here again I was back back from the great nowhere of
somewhere else returned all too officially to the whereabouts of Moffa.' A woman returns to
the small English town she grew up in to live in a new-build sublet flat overlooking her
mother's house. Anticipating a visit from the mysterious other resident she is always on edge
and her thoughts keep returning to the rented room she has just left now occupied by a new
lodger she has never met but whose imagined navigation within the house become her obsession.
The minor dramas of temporary living are prised open and ransacked in this irreverent
experimental and boldly stylish novel which examines a life lived in other people's spaces. A
subtly political story about dislocation in contemporary Britain this is a stunning debut from
a writer already hailed as one of the best poets of her generation.
