The House That Fell Down by Victoria Schofield

When Victoria Schofield's three-storey Victorian house in leafy West London collapsed several years ago it made the front page of many newspapers. This witty diary of the ensuing torment of rebuilding, pulling down, and rebuilding again is an eye-opener. No one who reads this wry and often hilarious account is ever likely to say 'safe as houses' again.
Victoria Schofield is married to Stephen Willis, and they and their children live happily in their new house in West London. Apart from her recently acquired expertise in house-building, her specialist interest is South Asia, and she is writing a biography of Earl Wavell. Her previous books include Kashmir in Conflict, Kashmir in the Crossfire and Bhutto: Trial and Execution.
