A House Through Time by David Olusoga

5.0

Having really loved all four series of the TV programme 'A House Through Time' I was looking forward to reading this book and it didn't disappoint. Although written prior to the latest series the book only makes tangential references to the properties featured and instead takes a broad brush approach which works well. Social history is tied up with housing and the two authors consider a logical trajectory from Roman times to the now and link our need for shelter to developments in housing. It's a fascinating read and well worth the effort.
