A thought provoking and intriguing book, a reflection on the home. Interesting.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A cross between academic/philosophical conception of home and every day meditative essays about it.
Home as a physical space, psychological and sociological place, a personal space and its compartments.
I particularly recommend it to those who have migrated and/or moved houses or who wonder why they find a particular space more appealing.
A comprehensive, informative, deep and yet, comfortable read.

A interesting book idea but every sentence reads like the author just swallowed a thesaurus. I was expecting to be more on the differences between houses and homes or even just how different styles and there effects on us but this is literally a Philosophy book, which isn't for me.

This book proved to be an intriguing meditation on space - both public and private, physical and intangible - exploring what it truly means to live. I was hooked as Coccia skilfully deconstructed universal assumptions that underlie our conception of a home. In doing so he builds a novel domestic philosophy to challenge our experience of home, as we strive to create a world where shared happiness is more than a distant dream.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
