Total copies: 1
Taking the form of one long email addressed to an estate agent, 'Goodlord' is a fictional memoir of habitation, a genre-defying novelistic text that beautifully evokes the people and places of our lives - the spaces of work, those that may or may not be 'home', sites of trauma and ecstasy. Showing all the control of voice one would expect from a poet of her rare skill, Ella Frears has created a book that is as funny as it is harrowing, and beautifully skewers the contemporary housing crisis while questioning the fundamental desires, drivers and disappointments that lie at the heart of our obsession with 'property'.
