MAKING OF HOME (PB)

The idea that 'home' is a special place, a separate place, a place where we can be our true selves, is so obvious to us today that we barely pause to think about it. But, as this book reveals, 'home' is a relatively new concept. Judith Flanders traces the evolution of the house across northern Europe and America from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century and paints a striking picture of how the homes we know today differ from homes through history.
