Book Review - Home - Bill Bryson

At Home: A Short History of Private LifeAt Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A very informative book. I love the way Bill Bryson writes. Very humerous and witty. He wanders around the place but always ends up back to where he was meant to go. Along the way you are learning interesting facts and history. I never relieased half the rooms of the house had such great history behind them. Highly recommended.

Monica McInerney - At Home with the Templetons


Monica McInerney has done it again! 

'At Home with the Templetons' is another bestseller and we have it on special for $21.41 - that is a saving of $12.96 until the 24th of December.

If you like Di Morrisey, Maeve Binchy, Ceceila Ahern - then you will love Monica McInerney!!




The Templeton family and their stately manor home, in rural Victoria have long been the focus of local gossip. The family's sudden arrival from the UK in the late 1980's to reclaim the run-down colonial property was the talk of the town, as they turned the house into a living museum of the gold rush era and a successful tourist attraction, keeping the locals entertained and often shocked with their constant family dramas.

Their closest neighbours, Nina Donovan, a young widow and artist, and her son Tom, initially keep their distance but soon find themselves drawn into life at the Hall. Both Anita and Tom slowly fall for the allure of the charismatic Henry, his wife Eleanor, her troubled sister Hope and the four Templeton children - Charlotte, Audrey, Gracie and Spencer - until the Templetons leave the Hall to return to England under sudden, unexplained circumstances.

Monica McInerney - At Home with the Templetons Due September 27

 

When the Templeton family from England takes up residence in a stately home in country Australia, they set the locals talking – and with good reason. From the outside, the seven Templetons seem so bohemian, unusual... peculiar even.
No one is more intrigued by the family than their neighbours, single mother Nina Donovan and her young son Tom. Before long, the two families' lives become entwined in unexpected ways, to the delight of Gracie, the sweetest of the Templeton children.  
In the years that follow, the relationships between the Templetons and the two Donovans twist and turn in unpredictable and life-changing directions, until a tragedy tears them all apart. What will it take to bring them together again?

From Australia's top-selling female novelist comes her best book yet – a wonderfully entertaining and touching story about the perils and pleasures of love, friendship and family.
