What a woman needs now is an apartment of her own, the ultimate mark of financial stability, unattainable for many. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Set over the course of one year, \u003ci\u003eThree Rooms\u003c\/i\u003e follows a young woman as she moves from a rented room at Oxford, where she's working as a research assistant; to a stranger's sofa, all she can afford as a copyediting temp at a society magazine; to her childhood home, where she's been forced to return, jobless, even a room of her own out of reach. As politics shift to nationalism, the streets fill with protestors, and news drip-feeds into her phone, she struggles to live a meaningful life on her own terms, unsure if she'll ever be able to afford to do so. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJO HAMYA has an English degree from King's College London and a MSt in contemporary literature and culture from Oxford University.
