Unraveling Secrets: How Laura Childs Gill’s What a House Can Hold Transforms a Home into a Mystery
“This is a love story that doesn’t have a clear beginning,” Gill writes, though not at the beginning of the first of three essays entitled “Beginnings, A Series of Attempts.” “Or if it does, it is the kind that stays hovering long before it knows where to land.” If that strikes you as confusingly beautiful or beautifully confusing, then this book is for you. Readers drawn to lyric essays, literary pilgrimage, architecture, memory, and associative form may easily fall in love with this quiet collection of beginnings, winding roads, and recurring apples.
