Howards End Is on the Landing

Welcher Bücherfreund kennt nicht dieses Problem: Die heimischen Regale biegen sich unter ungelesenen Klassikern der Literatur, die man alle noch lesen will, wenn man mal die Zeit hat. Susan Hill hat sich die Zeit genommen und ein Jahr lang nur Bücher aus heimischem Bestand gelesen - mit überraschenden Einblicken und einer großen Liebe zum geschriebenen Wort.

Early one autumn afternoon in pursuit of an elusive book on her shelves, Susan Hill encountered dozens of others that she had never read, or forgotten she owned, or wanted to read for a second time. The discovery inspired her to embark on a year-long voyage through her books in order to get to know her own collection again. Howard's End is on the Landing charts the journey of one of Britain's most accomplished authors as she revisits the conversations, libraries and bookshelves of the past that have informed a lifetime of reading and writing.
