Too Rich to Read Just Once!

I loved this book! In fact, I'm reading it a second time, as I found it so rich in metaphor and meaning. Anyone who has ever struggled in a relationship with a house will certainly gain some insights from the writer's experiences, so richly told, of settling in her little home in Minneapolis. I loved how she described her "dance" with her home and also with her neighborhood and life in general. She shares very openly and lets the reader feel along with her. It's a lovely book!
