A Mature adult domestic horror. Every named character is an adult: Rhea Naismith 37, Gareth Naismith 40, Dot Halliday 68, Brian Nock 79, Perrie Haig 34, Usha Bhattacharjee 61, Sim Bhattacharjee 64, Denny Prouse 51, Saffron Idowu 44, Tomasz Wieliczko 45, Debra Feng 52. No minor appears in any role. Themes: a dwelling that arrives rather than moves and loses its ground; a street that accepts an arrangement one small accommodation at a time across a fortnight; neighbours who stop, one at a time, in an order that can be charted; a privet hedge that stayed where the ground was while a kitchen did not; a claim with no insured peril behind it; a gas engineer's service pipe running thirty-eight metres to a main that stayed behind; a planning officer saying kindly that she has no offence here because a footprint did not change; a stamped 1971 conveyancing plan that is true and shows a house where it cannot be; two households on one electricity meter; an explicit sexual encounter between two consenting adults, written, in a kitchen in the wrong place at 01:40 on Saturday 11 April; consent spoken aloud in the room in clauses several times with a one-word stop either way; and a signature on a two-part claim form on a Thursday at 11:20 with no occasion. Nobody dies and nobody is injured. The worst thing in the book is a side gate. No ending returns the house to its ground. No slurs are written out.
