Your own house

Real Estate

The third volume in Deborah Levy's coming-of-age trilogy: On Women and Private Property. Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award and named a Book of the Year by Time Magazine, The Washington Post, and others, this book explores the importance of women not only having their own room but also their own house. This is a collection of intelligent and insightful personal nonfiction exploring women's homeownership, living alone, and their spiritual lives.
London, New York, Mumbai, Paris, Berlin... Writer Levy, nearing sixty, embarks on a journey of solitude. She moves from one rented apartment to another, her yearning for a place of her own always lingering. Virginia Woolf said that a woman who wishes to be a writer must have a room of her own. In "A House of One's Own," Levy, with profound insight and sharp wit, catalogs a woman's real and imagined possessions, prompting readers to question their own cultural understandings of possessions and property, and to consider the value of a woman's personal material and intellectual life.
************************************
Not only a philosophical discourse, but also a manifesto for women’s lives and writings that can be learned from. - Financial Times
The everyday aspects of modern life become luminous in Levy's lucid prose.
—The New Yorker
Levy isn't just concerned with writing a new, freer female character; she's also concerned with being one. With her humor, irreverence, curiosity, and wisdom, she's the companion every reader craves.
—The Guardian
Her reflections on family, freedom, and romance are so beautiful that I found myself circling many of the sentences on every page. This book is witty, warm, and uplifting, and I will return to it again and again.
