Fiona Wright's novel, Kill Your Boomers, delves into the harsh realities of the housing crisis in Australia, particularly in Sydney, where property prices have reached an astonishing $1,150,000 as of December 2025. The story follows Kiera, a thirty-something woman living with housemates in dilapidated conditions while working as a nanny and freelance writer. Struggling with her aspirations for home ownership, Kiera's envy of friends who can afford to buy homes highlights the growing divide between those with inherited wealth and those without. The narrative is infused with dark humor, stemming from a joke among friends about waiting for their parents to pass away to inherit property. As Kiera navigates open houses and real estate listings, her compulsive behavior reflects her desperation to belong in a society that equates success with property ownership. Wright's portrayal of Kiera's life is both relatable and unsettling, as she grapples with feelings of shame and inadequacy. The novel's surreal elements, including a talking hole in her kitchen that represents her suppressed thoughts, further emphasize the psychological toll of economic precarity. Ultimately, Kill Your Boomers serves as a sharp social commentary on the inequities of the housing market and the generational tensions it exacerbates.
