Growing Up, Getting Away and Returning to Britain's Poorest Towns
A memoir and investigative journey in which the narrator retraces a childhood spent in hostels, council estates, and temporary housing across the UK, confronting memories of poverty, instability, and abuse. Blending reportage with personal reflection, it explores the impact of class, welfare, and housing policies while highlighting resilience, solidarity, and the complex work of survival and self-reinvention.
