I just finished House Lessons and I give it ✰✰✰✰✰. Five stars people!
Vera recommended this book on her blog and I discovered I had acquired it about six months ago but hadn't read it yet. It is the story of a Seattle family who renovate an old and decrepit house in Port Townsend, Washington. And of course it isn't just that, it is a meditation on architecture and family and symmetry and it is just wonderful.
I wanted to know more--about her architect that believes in aliens, about putting a note in the walls for future owners (we didn't do that with our house, darn it!)--but those are small things to comment on when a book is this perfecct.
