Loved the book. It is a book about movement but also restoring a Victorian house in Bristol. I read it over the weekend as I could not stop. She writes so very well. Written with humour. The author wants to restore and renovate the house, and the husband not so much. Great read.

I liked this book, it was a lot more compelling than I thought it could be. Obviously the author talks about the different houses she's lived in and renovated, but she makes interesting connections and observations about her life that really round out the book. I especially thought her comments about England explained a few things I've always wondered about.

I've read every book by Jane Christmas. She writes honestly, bravely open about her flaws. Open House is an account of her obsession with moving houses and renovating. Every reader will find themselves somewhere, in a room or in discussion with a contractor or spouse.

A flipper's nightmare renovation triggers childhood memories.
