Summary:

'House' has long been synonymous with 'home': the significance of four walls and a roof lies far deeper than simply shelter from the elements. A house stands for sanctuary, family, belonging, privacy and our pasts. This is a field guide to the private life of the family home in the twentieth century: a social, cultural and personal history.
