You don't find home. Home finds you.

Roz has lived in her London house for thirty years. She arrived there bewildered and reckless, moving in with a man she'd known for one week, and the house kept asking: Are you sure? Do you belong here? Decades later, it's the keeper of her history, her work and her life with Dave. But now they've decided to leave the city.

With sharp wit and genuine curiosity, Roz explores the deep resonance of place and memory: how a house is built on layers of happenstance, how it holds the ghosts of previous owners, and how we come to know it like our own limbs. From estate agents' slippery tricks to the strange archaeology of attics, from the sounds that tell us we're home to the leap of faith required to start again somewhere new, this is a book about stuff and nonsense, love and junk, the old kingdom and the new -and the ways our homes shape us as much as we shape them.

By turns hilarious and unexpectedly moving, Turn Right At The Rainbow is creative non-fiction that reads like a novel. It's for readers of memoir who crave heart as much as humour, as well as those who scroll property listings just for nosiness. Above all, it's a quest for the miraculous moment when somewhere alien becomes 'home'.
