The fall of a doll's house
About this book
"In this provocative mix of social, architectural, and personal history, Jane Davison take a sympathetic but skeptical look at a treasured American dream: the single-family suburban house. Drawing upon the examples of her grandmother, her mother, and herself, she shows the changing attitude toward the house as a symbol of the good life and the technological changes in the house itself, over three generations" -- jacket.
