Home: A Short History of an Idea

Author: Witold Rybczynski
Stars: 3
Review by: Mary NK

A fascinating examination of what makes a house, a home; how the feelings of comfort, coziness & belonging came to be associated with a mere shelter. Witold theorizes that Dutch women, keeping their houses clean & neat, were a major force in this transformation.
