I read this book in hardcover when it was first published and found it fascinating. It’s about a family building their first house and about all those involved in its planning & construction. I do love houses but I was surprised how riveted I was by all the details of planning & constructing a house. And this book does go into great detail: from the wood used to the relationships between the owners, builders, architect, and everyone who participated.
I'm struggling through this one. Had never read Virginia Woolf and wanted to see what she was all about. So far it's not been easy going. She is not my "cup of tea" so to speak. Well, it's a couple of months, now, since I began this book. After a struggle with the first third I have decided to abandon it for now in favor of some light reading. I'll try to finish it at a later date.
