Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating meditation on architecture, family, and the intersection of the past and present. Set in a small town on the southern border of a Midwestern state, the story centers around Harriet and Lydia Wilde, an aunt and niece who live in an old brick house that has been in their family for generations. Harriet clings to the past, particularly to the men in her family who were clergy members. Lydia, on the other hand, is more forward-looking and dreams of becoming an architect. This book explores the conflict between tradition and modernity, and the ways in which we can find meaning in our lives by embracing both the past and the future. Ultimately, the book suggests that the most important thing in life is to build a strong foundation, both physically and metaphorically, upon which we can build our dreams. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333556709_0
