WHERE: “Around the House and In the Garden,” by Dominique Browning


Dominique Browning, former editor in chief of House & Garden, writes “My story is about the way a house can express loss, and then bereavement, and then, finally, the rebuilding of a life.” For those who miss House & Garden and Dominique’s lovely essays each month, and for those who have more recently discovered her writing through The New York Times and other sources, this is a really lovely, very personal memoir of time spent renovating a house and rebuilding a life. It gives very personal meaning to Churchill’s famous words, “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.”
