in september 2004, "neighbourhood" was used by the bbc in an ident for their short-lived series "fat nation". the line "who lives in a house like this?" is thought to be a reference to "through the keyhole", another bbc programme. the song is also on the soundtrack from the 1997 movie "shooting fish".

neighbourhood (song)
this is the third of four novels featuring polly o'keefe, the rest being, in order, "the arm of the starfish" (1965), "dragons in the waters" (1976) and "an acceptable time" (1989). "a house like a lotus" is the only one of the four written in first person. these books, collectively called the o'keefe series, are themselves part of a larger series, the murry-o'keefe books. polly is born shortly after the events of "a swiftly tilting planet", the last (by internal chronology) of four books about polly's parents and uncles. most of the murry-o'keefe books have elements of science fiction or fantasy or both. "a house like a lotus" has very little of this, however, just a fictional disease (netson's disease) and an incident in which virginia bowen porcher shows signs of esp when she correctly guesses that polly is in danger. judging by polly's age, "a house like a lotus" takes place four years after "the arm of the starfish", two years after "dragons in the waters" and a year before "an acceptable time".
