I Want to Go Home But I’m Already There is a document of hellish times

Her boyfriend leaves for work, and Áine Ward is left alone, a miserable woman in a miserable home. She knew that any affordable flat would be mouldy, but the mould in the one she and Elliott share is a “green horror” that regrows faster than it can be scrubbed away. The flat upstairs contains a wailing woman, always heard but inexplicably never seen, and an overcoated man, never heard but seen inexplicably frequently. So begins I Want to Go Home…

“My father wanted to go home...to the time when he was himself, and when his family was family” (Edamoto Nahomi, “Edamoto Nahomi's Cooking Diary”). A scene in which her father, who has developed dementia as a result of a stroke and moves into a condominium with care services, insists on going home, leading his daughter Edamoto to go crazy.
