Homesick
London's housing market has changed beyond all recognition over the last 40 years.
Following a diverse group of Londoners as their fortunes rise and fall across the decades, Homesick reveals why this happened with clear-eyed urgency and asks where London is going in the future if its housing problems are not solved.
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.
