"As political narratives focus on division, Maff Potts finds connection and joy in the extraordinary, ordinary network of public living rooms"

• Anoosh Chakelian, Britain Editor, The New Statesman

"The Mighty Maff on top form: Provocative and funny and seriously serious. Soul soaringly, shit stirringly special. Camerados are the revolution that the world needs now"

• David Robinson, co-lead The Relationship Project and "Godfather of the community sector"

"Maff's activism inspires, provokes, teaches and entertains. So does his book. Highly Recommended"

• Liam Black, author of "How to Lead with Purpose"

In this book you find out what people say when they come across a sofa, some armchairs and an entire living room in the middle of the street. What you hear are some remarkable and often very funny and very touching stories. Either side of these chapters, Maff Potts shares some of the more surprising things he has learnt about humans and humanity when working in the social justice world with people who have very tough lives. He finds the answer lies in humans, not institutions.
