In A House Unlocked, Whitbread Award- and Booker Prize-winning
Penelope Lively takes us on a journey of her familial country house
in England that her grandparents bought in 1923. As her narrative
shifts from room to room, object to object, she paints a moving
portrait of an era of rapid change -- and of the family that
changed with the times. As she charts the course of the domestic
tensions of class and community among her relatives, she brings to
life the effects of the horrors of the Russian Revolution and the
Holocaust through portraits of the refugees who came to live with
them. A fascinating, intimate social history of its times, A House
Unlocked is an eloquent meditation on place and time, memory and
history, and above all a tribute to the meaning of home.
