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’.
“ALL THE HOT WOMEN I KNOW HAVE ELLA FREARS ON THEIR BEDSIDE TABLES.”—Sheena Patel
“A WITTY, INDIGNANT AND POIGNANT LOOK AT THE WAY OUR DESIRE FOR A PLACE TO CALL HOME HAS BEEN MISSHAPEN AND DISTORTED BY THE MORBID PATHOLOGIES OF THE MARKET.”—Keiran Goddard
