Family Houses in the Country explores the magic of homes far away from home. Offering perceptive portraits of remarkable country houses throughout England, Scotland, France, Italy, and the United States, this book is transportive celebration of togetherness, the coexistence of generations, and the gentle rhythms of childhood.

“As readers we are treated to a peek inside a family homestead nestled in California’s Napa Valley, where sun and vines and loves ones seem to inhabit an eternal summer’s day. We experience the isolated, strangely welcoming manor of Kerdaoulas, which situated on a hill in Brittany, casts its shadow over sea and countryside. We explore every room in a lakehouse in New Hampshire. And we’re not surprised to find that a funny, architecturally intriguing home in Shropshire once housed a medieval abbey.”
