So exciting to see this! I clicked on a note that led me here, because of course I can’t resist a book about home, and started to read the excerpt without even looking at your name and now I’m overjoyed to find you here and can’t wait to read this! Congratulations!
Erin! It’s so lovely to hear from you! In fact, meeting you inspired one of the parts of the book where I dig into small space living and my own exploration of my sense of shame associated with it - you actually make a wee cameo as “Ellen”, as you helped me lift my head (and heart) in ways I wasn’t fully aware at the time ❤️ Would love to reconnect properly x
This is all so interesting and beautifully written Katie. The descriptions of your place in Brixton are hilarious - the cheese, the toilet roll, the Post-its 😂Which side street was it? I moved to Brixton after university and haven’t left - also have only lived in three homes here (I have the opposite thing to you - even when home no longer feels right I can’t let it go. The idea of moving I like, but the reality is that I’m nostalgic and sentimental and indecisive and struggle to let go of places full of so many memories.) Anyway the book looks brilliant, I shall order a copy pronto!

Oh that's so lovely to know! Absolutely a reconnection is in order!
Congratulations! 🎉 I pre-ordered your book and it has arrived - although I haven’t had a chance to start reading yet. Loved this extract though!
Thank you so much, Amy! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it ❤️
