Publisher's Synopsis
Penelope Lively recalls Golsoncott, the country house in Somerset her grandparents bought in 1923. Golsoncott was touched by the cataclysmic events of the 20th century: the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust, the Blitz. 'A House Unlocked' charts the social changes and transforming moments of the last century. Shifting attitudes to class, the tension between town and country, and how one learns to see the world.
