I’ve read each review and, for the most part, have stayed quiet for many reasons. While this book is very much about me, it’s also bigger than me—and for a while, I wondered if I had made a mistake writing a homemaking book that goes beyond aesthetics. A homemaking book that explores our culture and the many ways it shapes our relationship to our possessions, ourselves and each other.
Then I came across your review, and I can honestly say I felt seen.
Thank you for sharing the story of your father and your relationship to things. It resonated with me in a way that reminded me why I wrote this book in the first place.
I’m still not sure whether reading reviews is a good thing or a hard thing—but I do know it led me to your words, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
