Publisher Review

'I believe that Kieran Yates was born to write, but crucially, to write this vital piece of work. I tore through the pages . . . A book I'll read over and over again' -- Candice Carty-Williams, author of 'Queenie' 'A beautiful exposition of home and what it means. Yates infuses such gentle care and humanity into the exploration of race, the failings of society and government ... Stunning' -- Bolu Babalola, author of 'Love in Colour' 'Wholly transportive and informative. With every home visited, you will leave feeling like a welcomed guest, a deeply concerned neighbour or probably both' -- Clara Amfo 'A moving and urgent expose of the housing crisis' -- Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project 'Intimate and fascinating. Both a memoir and a social commentary of Britain' -- Annie Macmanus 'Warm and funny. A powerful call to action against bad landlords, gentrification and class inequality in Britain' -- Symeon Brown, author of 'Get Rich or Lie Trying' Vital. Everyone should read it -- Vicky Spratt, author of 'Tenants' 'A powerful, personal and intricate tour of our housing system ... exposing who it works for and who it doesn't' -- Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP 'Yates writes with clarity, warmth and passion and leaves the reader wanting to march on Whitehall immediately' -- Nikesh Shukla
