Join Alice Wilkinson as she talks about her new book - How to Stay Sane in a House Share
About this Event

We're looking forward to welcoming journalist and serial house sharer, , to the shop on Friday 24th October at 7pm as she chats to Helena Hamilton about how to navigate the choppy waters of communal living, from selecting the right housemate to the best ways to smooth over conflicts, in her new book,.

How do you keep it together when you're living together?

If you’ve found yourself asking this question (returning home from a day of winning in the workplace only to realise you've lost the fight for your own living room — again) then it’s likely that you're one of the millions of people living in a house share in the UK, US and beyond.

Between marriage rates dwindling and the cost-of-living soaring, house sharing is becoming more and more common – but that doesn’t stop it being one of the most complex living set-ups of the 21st century. Thankfully, Alice Wilkinson is here to help you stay sane when you're feeling stuck.
