At Home: A Short History of Private Life

“a room-by-room tour of his own english country home that somehow turns into a sweeping history of everything — food, furniture, hygiene, architecture, technology. a perfect book if you love random facts and you’re interested in interiors, homes, and history. somehow perfectly thorough and easily digestible.”

“Can wholeheartedly recommend this as my favorite book. Bill Bryson is such a treasure. Exploring the history of how we live, room by room.”
