Description
The See-Through House My Father in Full Colour by Shelley Klein is a moving memoir that explores the complexities of family, grief and belonging. This poignant account of life with an adored yet maddening parent is set against the backdrop of a remarkable house designed by Shelley's father, Bernat Klein, a textile designer whose pioneering colours and textures shaped 1960s and 70s style. As Shelley returns to care for her father in his eighties, she must confront the tension between her love for him and her own need for independence. The house, with its colourful glass panels and uncompromising design principles, remains a constant presence throughout this story of love, loss and letting go. Through her father's own story, Shelley weaves a narrative that is both tender and humorous, offering a unique perspective on the search for belonging and the pain of moving on.
