Summary

Ben Highmore shows how the British family house has been transformed since the start of the twentieth century. He offers an engaging and stimulating peek through the curtains to explain why the fridge is used as a communication centre, how the loo (or toilet) inspired its very own literary genre and what your furniture arrangement reveals about how you function as a family.
