With his signature wit, charm, and seemingly limitless knowledge, Bill
Bryson takes us on a room-by-room tour through his own house, using each
room as a jumping off point into the vast history of the domestic
artifacts we take for granted. As he takes us through the history of our
modern comforts, Bryson demonstrates that whatever happens in the world
eventually ends up in our home, in the paint, the pipes, the pillows,
and every item of furniture. Bryson has one of the liveliest, most
inquisitive minds on the planet, and his sheer prose fluency makes At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.
