Sinossi
An account of the housing bubble and crash as experienced by the author's middle-class family describes their fervent attempts to acquire a home in the daunting market of New York City, an effort fraught with overpricing, shady realtors, and toxic mortgage offers that tested the furthest reaches of their finances and psychological well-being.

Recensione
"When you're just renting, there's no place like home, and it seems there's no place like home in New York City unless you're a gazillionaire. Mary Elizabeth Williams's quest for a modest room of her own is hopeful, hopeless, and hilarious. Gimme Shelter is down and dirty real estate porn starring the funny, smart girl next door." -- Sarah Thyre, author of Dark at the Roots
"A compelling, clearly written story that will interest anyone seeking a personal perspective on the causes, depth and longterm consequences of the financial crisis and the ramifications of past and current policy decisions." -- Publishers Weekly
"The perfect cautionary tale for an age of managed real estate expectations. It really shouldn't be this hard for middle-class people to find a decent, affordable place to live." -- Neal Pollack, author of Alternadad
