Summary
Amanda Vickery sets her sights on the golden age of homemaking in the 18th Century Georgian era. She traces the story of the unique relationship Britons enjoy with their homes. Characters from all walks of life, including gentlewomen in their stately mansions and servants with only a locking box to call their own, are brought to life as Amanda reveals the private diaries, intimate letters and curious artifacts of the age where the modern notion of a 'home' was born.
