A wonderfully evocative history of a house - By: , 17 Apr 2001
In this, the first of Norah Lofts acclaimed trilogy, the story of a mediaeval house is chronicled by five of its inhabitants. Beginning at the time of the Peasants Revolt the story of the Reid familly, rewarded with a plot of land following a betrayal brought on by revenge is followed through the words of the very differnt characters who inahbit The Town House. Although this is the first in a series of three books, the story being continued in The House At Old Vine & the House at Sunset, it is complete in itself, however reading it will no doubt start a curiosity to know what happens in later centuries. By the end of the book athanks to Miss Lofts wonderfull recreation of time & place readers will be as familier with The Town House & its setting of Baildon as they are of their own. .
