Why did people in the Middle Ages sleep sitting up? Why are two centuries called the "unwashed" centuries? What was the reason Victorian ladies often fainted? How did people get along without toilet paper? Why were people afraid to eat fruit? Lucy Worsley answers these and many other questions in her vivid account of the English home, full of many picturesque, almost tangible details... In this fascinating tour through the history of the drawing room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, she focuses not on the rooms and furnishings, but on how people lived and what they did in bed, in the bath, at the table, and at the stove. After reading this book, readers will see their homes with new eyes.
