Homesick by Catrina Davies
The memoir of a personal housing crisis that led to a discovery of the true value of home, nature and belonging.
You will marvel at the beauty of this book, and rage at the injustice it reveals* George Monbiot *
An incredibly moving book. To find peace and a sense of home between the sea and the stars after a life so profoundly affected by the housing crisis, is truly inspirational. * Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path *
Superb: a compellingly readable reflection on what it means to be alive in a mortuary, free in a society of slaves, and on place, home, relationship, and our need for the surging wild. Angry and kind; poised and desperate; urgent and vital. Davies can help us all to get a life. We need her. * Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast *
An articulate and beautifully written account from the heart of the housing disaster, told at the last point we can choose to change. * Danny Dorling, author of All that is Solid *
A marvel, a tonic of wildness - Homesick is a gently powerful and deeply beautiful read * Hugh Warwick, author of Linescapes *
Stirring, striking and extremely significant. A beautifully written search for freedom exploring social justice, mental health, nature and the priceless value of home. * Sam Bleakley, author of Mindfulness & Surfing *
Davies clearly and succinctly describes the vastness of the housing problem * Evening Standard *
A lyrical love song to unconventional living forced by the housing crisis * Big Issue *
