MATURE. Adults only. Every named and speaking character is an adult, with an age on the page: Coleen Rafferty 43, Micky Dunne 46, Nadine Okafor 34, Siobhan Dunne 51, Dermot Rafferty 71, Pauline Nagle 61, Barry Turnbull 58, Gary Rafferty 45, and Kyle Dunne 19, who speaks once in no sexual role. The youngest is 19 and no minor exists in the book in any role, memory, or plan. Themes: a mortgage of forty-one thousand three hundred and twenty pounds and a care-home fee of one thousand and twenty pounds a week that do not meet; a cash arrangement with no tenancy and no signature; a loved man who is on no document anywhere in the book; a sister who paid four thousand one hundred and eighty pounds for a funeral and has the receipt; a mother's ashes unclaimed at a funeral director's; the sale of a family business weighed against a father's place at Fenwick House; grief, class, debt, and a town on the North Sea in February. Sexual content: Coleen Rafferty 43 and Micky Dunne 46 are adults and are not married to each other at any point. What each of them wants and what stops it is said out loud before anything begins in each of the three scenes, either of them can stop it at any point with one word, and the word is said once in the third scene and honoured immediately with no question afterwards. The scenes are written in full and specific to these two people and to one flat above a wash house. They are not rewards: the first costs the insurance clause, the second costs Siobhan finding out, and the third costs the sentence its ground. No civic choice and no ending is unlocked by any of them. Rita Dunne, 74, dies off the page and is not depicted dying. No injury is depicted, no weapon appears, and no method of anything is described. No slur is written out. Fictional launderette, street, care home, branch, and people. All music is instrumental, vocal playback is disabled, and lyrics are empty.
