HouseFrom the first nail to the final coat of paint, blueprints to moving day, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder leads readers through the grand adventure of building an American dream. In Kidder's hands, the story of constructing a house becomes "powerful, rich, enjoyable... a suspenseful, gripping tale" (People). Coming soon "This book is the story of the building of a house, and it is told with such clarity, intelligence, and grace it makes you wonder why no one has written a book like it before. In the way that a well-told story of a marriage or of a love affair or of a child's coming of age fills you with a sense that you are reading about a fundamental human experience for the first time, so it is with House... The making of a house is a strange blend of dreams and mundane work, of heaven and earth, and Mr. Kidder has explained it." —Paul Goldberger, The New York Times Book Review (click here for the full review) “And House is finally a happy story. A collection of highly abrasive people succeed in getting along with one another and producing something worthwhile. Whether this was chance or design will be up to readers of this intriguing book to decide. —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times (click here for the full review) For a full review of House on About.com, click here.
