I was thinking they could live around the Brompton area. Central london, i believe my characters would be middle/working class.
They will have no children as Daniel has not allowed Noah to have any children.
They would have lived here around 3 years together. Both had previous partners, however Noah was not married before, Daniel was.
I wanted to set my characters in Britain and in particular london as i feel i can relate to this area. I want to focus my research and facts on domestic abuse and homelessness in the UK instead of america, i think it is more relevant and accessible if it is set here.
I had an idea that my female character Noah could work in Chelsea and Westminster hospital as this is near by to where they live.
I had an image of her walking through Brompton cemetery on her way to work.
I also feel like giving her a job in a hospital almost jauxtaposes the life she is living. She is looking after people daily yet she herself is being looked after by anyone else or intact herself, because of her unhealthy relationship.
This shop called "tray gourmet" is right opposite the hospital. I can imagine my character going into that shop and getting her lunch everyday. Being friendly with the guy behind the counter.
I also had an idea that the guy behind the counter could notice the days when Noah is more reserved and quite.
I have chosen a place that i am familiar with. I actually drive down this route every sunday to go to church in kensington with my family, i chose a road in which i know and am familiar with, i believe this would help me know and understand the characters and their surroundings.
