What does history really consists of? Centuries of people quietly
going about their daily business - sleeping, eating, having sex,
endeavouring to get comfortable. And where did all these normal
activities take place? At home. This was the thought that inspired
Bill Bryson to start a journey around the rooms of his own house,
an 1851 Norfolk rectory, to consider how the ordinary things in
life came to be. And what he discovered are surprising connections
to anything from the Crystal Palace to the Eiffel Tower, from
scurvy to body-snatching,from bedbugs to the Industrial Revolution,
and just about everything else that has ever happened, resulting in
one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written
about the history of the way we live.
