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 ''Illuminating'' OBSERVER We''ve all had our share of mould, dodgy landlords and awkward house shares. But Kieran Yates has had more than most: by the age of twenty-five she''d lived in twenty different houses across the country. In her coming-of-age memoir, she charts the heartbreaks and joys of a life spent searching for home. Sparkling with warmth and wit, this is a story of finding beauty in our interiors, friendships in cramped flats, and home even in the most fragile circumstances. All the Houses I’ve Ever Lived In is at once a rallying cry for change and a love letter to home in all its forms. ''A beautiful exposition of home. Stunning'' BOLU BABALOLA ‘So incisive it’s hard to put down’ PANDORA SYKES ‘Yates manages the unthinkable: she makes the housing crisis funny’ i
