462:. Charismatic but unfaithful, her father spent most of his time ‘lining up pints’ in the Howth Yacht Club and ‘evading the debt collectors’; as a result domestic life was turbulent both financially and emotionally, ‘My parents didn't do suburbia very well, because they were artists themselves and it didn't suit them. That led to a lot of complications.’ These complications came to a head when the family was forcibly evicted from their home, ‘My mother was 45 years old when the bailiffs came, the house fell apart, the affair was revealed’; at the same time Fannin was forced to leave her primary school, and childhood friendships, because the family were no longer able to afford the fees. Isolated and alone in a rented holiday cottage she recalls cutting the paper dolls from her mother's dressmaking catalogues saying, ‘I populated every shelf with paper people, gave each of them names and occupations, imbued the limbless with tragic backstories and valiant deeds, while the elegant, well-drawn and fully realised ones were given dire personal problems’ (Fannin, 2021).

Abandoned by their seafaring father, glamorous mother Mamie, is trying to revive her career as a singer in order to make ends meet. Youngest daughter Stephanie is in thrall to the nuns; while older sister Madeleine has managed to secure a six-month supply of the contraceptive pill in exchange for a fiver and a pair of turquoise hot pants; and only brother Jack is at sea both literally and metaphorically. Meanwhile, gun-toting grandmother Tom, embittered, and suffering from dementia, is preparing for an armed stand-off. Set in 1970's ‘ 669:, 2003). Four characters drift aimlessly through their middle class privilege. Magda is conflicted by imminent death of her terminally ill artist father – the man whose infidelities have led to her mother's suicide. Her husband Francis has quit his job in advertising to write a great Irish novel but seems more concerned with picking up impressionable young millennials. Chick, his friend and former colleague, now exposed by Francis's absence from the agency, has one last chance to redeem himself with a campaign to rebrand the Christian Brothers in seven words.
