Ever thought about all the people who lived in your house before you? Julie Myerson did, and set out to learn as much as she could about their fascinating lives.'Part memoir, part historical fiction, part sleuth-like detective story: it works on every levelThe people she unearths are as vivid as characters in a novel, and it makes you think about your own home in a way you never did before' Esther Freud, Telegraph Books of the Year

'The idea behind “Home” is beautiful in its simplicity … An engrossing read.' Guardian

'Pure magic … A wonderful book.' Philip Hensher, Spectator
