Publisher's Summary

An extraordinarily candid personal account of the ups and downs wrought by money, We Need to Talk About Money is a vital exploration of stories and issues that will be familiar to most. This is a book about toxic workplaces and misogynist men, about getting pay rises and getting evicted. About class and privilege and racism and beauty. About shame and pride, compulsion and fear.

In unpicking the shroud of secrecy surrounding money—who has it, how they got it and how it shapes our lives—this boldly honest account of one woman’s journey upturns countless social conventions and uncovers some startling truths about our complex relationships with money in the process.

Critic Reviews

"In this compelling book, Otegha confronts the British aversion to discussing money and in doing so reveals she is one of the most original and talented young writers we have." (Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland)

"A brilliant book that moved, amused, challenged and made me re-evaluate my own relationship with money. Otegha Uwagba writes with real intelligence and insight about the things many of us suspect but leave unsaid. A must-read." (Elizabeth Day, author of How to Fail) 

"One of the most original and talented young writers we have." (Sathnam Sanghera)

"A must-read." (Elizabeth Day) 

"A beautiful, searingly personal account of a world defined by money, full of courage and truth telling." (Owen Jones)

Excellent read

I really enjoyed this book and bought it after hearing Otegha speaking on the Guilty Feminist podcast. An excellent memoir covering class, race and money. Very enjoyable!
