Description
A House Through Time by David Olusoga and Melanie Backe-Hansen is a fascinating exploration of the history of ordinary homes in Britain. This book offers a unique perspective on the country's past, tracing the stories of individual houses and the people who lived in them. From elegant dwellings in fashionable districts to tenements for those on the margins, the authors reveal the often-surprising journeys that single houses can take over time. Through remarkable human stories and vivid descriptions, the authors bring to life the history of British cities, industry, disease, mass transportation, crime, and class. This is a history that can be seen every day on the streets where we live, and one that reminds us that it is at home that we are truly ourselves. Behind closed doors and drawn curtains, we live out our inner lives and family lives. A House Through Time is a readable and engaging history of the British way of life, viewed through the lens of its homes.
