I tore through the pages. A book Ill read over and over againCANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS, author of Queenie ____________________________________________We've all had our share of dodgy landlords, mould and awkward house shares. But journalist Kieran Yates has had more than most: by the age of twenty-five she'd lived in twenty different houses across the country, from council estates in London to car showrooms in rural Wales. In prose that sparkles with humour and warmth, Yates charts the heartbreaks and joys of a life spent navigating the chaos of the housing system.Drawing on interviews with marginalised tenants across the country and the stories behind our interiors, she explores the unexpected ways we can fight back finding beauty in the wreckage of a broken system, friendships in cramped housing conditions, and home even in the most fragile circumstances.All the Houses Ive Ever Lived In is at once a rallying cry for change, a gorgeous coming-of-age story and a love letter to home in all its forms. ____________________________________________Illuminating, thoughtfully written, damning OBSERVERI read this in two sittings . . . so incisive it's hard to put downPANDORA SYKESA beautiful exposition of home and what it means.
