SYNOPSIS: 636 pages. "Under One Roof" in the title means you will find TWO books in this one book, both about (in)famous houses as written about by Norah Lofts.
Bless This House: The story of Merravay - the house built for Thomas Rowhedge in 1577 - spans the centuries between England's "Good Queen Bess" and Elizabeth II. But tragedy left a scar on the lovely Tudor house that was to haunt its occupants for those four hundred years...The house was sometimes feared, occasionally hated, even touched with the supernatural. It sheltered love; hid passion, both good and evil. Bless This House, for all its historical sweep, remains a very personal account of the people who filled the halls with intimate, exciting sounds of life."
The Town House: One of Norah Loft' most memorable books, a moving portrait of a family who rose from serfdom to prosperity; a chronicle of all that which made medieval England a period of mystery and romance.
