Description

Homesick: Why I Live in a Shed is a deeply personal and thought-provoking account of one woman's journey to find home and meaning in a world that often seems to be against her.

After a life marked by uncertainty and insecurity, Catrina Davies makes a bold decision to leave behind the confines of a shared box-room in Bristol and build a new life in a tiny, dilapidated shed on the border of the woods and the sea.

As she rebuilds her shed and slowly rebuilds herself, Catrina grapples with the complex issues of class, economics, mental health, and nature that underpin the UK's housing crisis. This is a story of one woman's struggle to find a sense of belonging and purpose, and of the power of home to both trap and set us free.
