Homesick
Homesick examines this transformation of London over the last 40 years, following a diverse group of Londoners as their fortunes rise and fall across the decades. With clear-eyed urgency, it reveals what will happen when a generation of renters retires and climate change brings fire and flood to a city unprepared for extremes.
The book also gives us reason to hope, exploring the ways London can transform again: from a market for private profit to a place that once more offers permanence, safety and opportunity for its citizens.
