Download If Walls Could Talk: An Intimate History of the Home AudioBook Free
Why does the flushing toilet take two centuries to capture on? Why does medieval people rest relaxing up? When were the two "dirty centuries?" Why does gas lighting cause Victorian women to faint? Why, for years and years, did rich people fear berries?In her brilliantly and artistically researched reserve, Lucy Worsley calls for us through the bed room, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. She protects the history of every room and explores what people actually did during intercourse, in the shower, at the stand, and at the stove-from sauce stirring to breastfeeding, teeth cleaning to masturbation, getting dressed up for you to get married-providing a compelling account of how the four rooms of the house have changed from medieval times to today.
