Sobre IBD

It Is 1992, and the recession is biting hard. Imogen Kent has never been unemployed before, but finds herself unfairly ejected from her job, and wonders how she will cope. She gets by with odd bits of temp work, babysitting and occasional petty crime. She is not helped by her tricky relationship with her judgemental parents. As Imogen navigates her way through the year, she encounters obstacles such as being sent on a useless course by the Job Centre, having to move out of her flat, and facing her old friends at a school reunion. As if that weren’t enough, an old boyfriend, Mick, suddenly comes into her life, but he is as badly off as she is. Can Imogen keep her optimism (not to mention her sanity) into 1993?
