A multi award-winning story of survival

Cost of Living follows the development of two relationships. Ani, who became quadriplegic after a serious car accident, reconnects with her estranged husband Eddie who is battling feelings of guilt and loneliness. John, a wealthy Princeton student with cerebral palsy, hires Jess, a woman juggling multiple jobs just to stay afloat, as his carer.

In a series of intriguing and stirring vignettes, Majok carefully teases out the nuanced power dynamics, pathos and humour of these characters’ lives, whilst also painting a vivid portrait of austerity in the twenty-first century.
