Reviews
Part memoir, part polemic, this is a savage, wise and witty tour-de-force. An unflinching account of the realities of systemic poverty, Poverty Safari lays down challenges to both the left and right. It is hard to think of a more timely, powerful or necessary book.J.K. Rowling
Nothing less than an intellectual and spiritual rehab manual for the progressive left.Irvine Welsh

Poverty Safari is an important and powerful book.Nicola Sturgeon
