| Abstract: | In this lovely, unsentimental memoir, Margaret Forster charts her whole life through the houses she has lived in: from the council estate house in Carlisle where she was born, to the house in Oxford where she lived while studying, to her first rented flat in Hampstead, to the house where she will die in Boscastle Road, north London - this last where she lived and wrote and brought up her children with fellow-writer Hunter Davies, and after interludes in Portugal and the Lake District, returned to. She writes of family life, of work, of the seasons, of the toil and joy of making a home. It's an extraordinarily effective way of conveying just how much stuff, both physical and emotional, a life contains. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
