Susan Bodiker was taking good notes during my recent book-signing appearance at Politics and Prose. Writing in the Current Newspaper, she identified several criteria that elevate a home from good to great. The best homes reflect the owner’s personality, harmonize with nature, and welcome you home. It’s hard to disagree with her conclusion that the book is a “tour d’horizon of dream-worthy houses,” or that “it will enrich your imagination for years to come and provide a blueprint (and resources) for creating your very own domestic work of art.”
