Enters her stepfather, intent to stay, with his cooking and tidying which makes her feel inadequate and before long, her own father who walked out on them when she was just a kid. A totally dysfunctional crowd with “mad history and chaos, heartbreaks, stupid jokes, ridiculous triumphs” (p), but this is Lila’s family, she realizes.
We all live here is about relationships, that between spouses, parents and children, sexual, professional. It is also about trust, grief, forgiving and growing older. The plot is character driven, with Lila eventually reaching a point where she “feels something in her soften, some long-held tension start to evaporate, replaced instead by a sense

There has been a crisis, in my view, dating back to the s as part of the Washington Consensus, where multinational corporations effectively took over the management of the world. These corporations became the midwives of the neo-liberal system. One of the tactics they mastered was corrupting Africa’s skilled bureaucrats. They promoted the idea that it was better to outsource functions and establish independent agencies rather than invest in building strong, capable bureaucracies.
In many of the countries plagued by rampant corruption, such issues become possible when the bureaucracy is weakened. With fragile institutions, borders become porous, and the system is overrun by individuals lacking proper training, orientation, and skills. This happens because the private sector essentially took over the management of these states.
