About This Book

No Certain Roof is the story of a man who pits his home against the system.Martin Hansen, his young wife and three children live in a run-down working-class terraced house, without even a bathroom. It is where Martin was born, where his father abandoned him, where he lived with his other until she died. It isn't much, but it is the only home he has ever known and the only one he wants.Property-developer William Armstrong owns Martin's house and the empty one next door. He wants to turn them into flats for sale to the middle-class buyers who are rapidly 'gentrifying' the area. But Martin is determined not to budge; he does not want to be rehoused, even if the alternative accommodation offered by William Armstrong is in a better state of repair and does have a bathroom.As his resolution strengthens and his horizon shrinks to a single obsessive determination to stay put, Martin finds the strain begins to tear at the fabric of his family life...
