Matilda Voisey is a member of the low-paid, part-time Precariat, working one low-paid, part-time job after another following the completion of her MA in Writing and her first novel. When her latest jobs ends, she gets a job sorting mail at the local mail-centre, only to battle the bottle, aggro and noise from her flatmates. In the dead time after Christmas, after working a succession of 84-hour weeks, Matilda loses it completely, succumbing to alcoholism and psychosis. Kingdom Come is the story of how Matilda recovers her mojo and discovers her strengths as a writer. It is funny and wry and full of hard-won wisdom. It is also the story of how Matilda recovers her faith in God and goes on to find employment and meaning again after a time in the wilderness."
