All The Houses I've Ever Lived In : Finding Home in a System that Fails Us

�`I tore through the pages. A book I'll read over and over again'�CANDICE 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 I've 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' OBSERVER`I read this in two sittings . . . so incisive it's hard to put down'�PANDORA SYKES`A beautiful exposition of home and what it means.
