A Home for All Seasons by Gavin Plumley
Both a sweeping history and an intimate account of making a home, told through the prism of an English country house.What starts out as a straightforward house history morphs into something else, a wide-ranging meditation on place and past, taking in climate change, rural depopulation, the Reformation
and folklore..A gentle, reflective book. Plumley is at his best when describing the things he loves: his husband, his new home, its history.
A richly textured book, replete with illuminating discoveries and observations. * Country Life *
A tender and illuminating history of an overlooked world, A Home for all Seasons is a beautiful portrait of time and place, a palpable labour of love. -- Horatio Clare, author of SOMETHING OF HIS ART
Charming - a love-letter to home, history and nature. -- Leah Broad, author of QUARTET
