Miriam Davoudvandi – We can’t afford that
What is it like to be ashamed of your home? What does it mean to grow up poor in a rich country?
In her bestselling non-fiction book *We Can’t Afford That* (btb 2026), Miriam Davoudvandi – a multi-award-winning journalist, author and podcaster – speaks openly and personally about her childhood and youth spent in precarious circumstances. She shows just how much money influences all manner of aspects of life: education, friendships, love and health. At the same time, she explores the lasting impact of poverty, even when social mobility is eventually achieved.
