A House Unlocked by Penelope Lively (Paperback, 2002)

An excellent title as an early life is truly unlocked.

Autobiographical I have found it a compelling read. about the author's early life when she visited her grandmother in Exmoor. It has reminded me of so many things, holidays in that area and also Russia as Penelope Lively writes about the Russian visitors to her grandmother's house.

The book is good value.Read full review

Excellent writing and very interesting if you know West Somerset

A great writer. I bought this book because it concerns a house which it turns out is vey close to where I live. She talks about many of the places that I know well. This may have made the book more readable for me but may not be as appealing to anyone who doesn't know the area although it was recommended to me by someone who loved the book and live in Essex.Read full review

Describes the story well.

Condition good. It was reccomended and I haven't read all yet. Good so far.
