Homesick: Why I Live in a Shed by Catrina Davies

adventurous challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

This book is full of courage and vulnerability in a glorious, surprising balance. Telling the real life story of how one woman came to live in a shed steeped in problematic childhood memory, I was gripped from start to finish. One moment there are beautiful, lyrical descriptions of the natural world and how we, as humans, can find ways to respect, love and cherish it. The next moment the author is raging about the inequalities of the housing system and the unfair ways in which consumerism has trapped people to the point of inertia. It’s a wonderful book and you’ll put it down feeling simultaneously angry and at peace.
