Summer Hours

With no money and few friends, Roisin is bad at life. She is also in love with her best friend Eve – the bright shining centre of her otherwise uninspiring existence. She would follow Eve anywhere, do anything for her. And yet, Roisin can’t tell her that. Where Eve seems to excel in all areas: money, boyfriends and confidence, Roisin prefers to call in sick or not show up, and instead spend her summer drinking lukewarm wine with Eve in the bathtub.

And then there’s Claire: older, rich, married . . . and interested in Roisin. When Claire offers her a not insignificant sum under the guise of ‘freelance work’, suddenly she has money at her disposal – to pay rent, go shopping for groceries and buy things for Eve. But as this secret arrangement progresses, Roisin begins to realise she is in an awkward situation that she can’t get out of.
