Summary

Inspired by her phenomenally popular Substack newsletter, Home is full India Knight’s inimitable wisdom, observations and reassuring advice, as she takes us room-by-room through the beauty, the mess, and the joy of life.

Why are we obsessed with our homes? Why do we immediately sigh with contentment when we open our front doors - and why is that so central to our wellbeing?

As readers of India Knight's popular substack know, home really, really matters. It is your castle. And, room by room, Home is your guide to a home you delight in.

Whether it's owned or rented, big or tiny, rural or urban, bachelor pad or rammed with children, Home is a testament to real homes, to everyday dinners, to the kitchen junk drawer, to turning off the big light, and to the power of a good night's sleep.

Reviews

  • No matter what the topic, India writes so beautifully and with such good humor and grace — I feel like I’m sitting in the kitchen having coffee and chatting with an old friend
    Jolene Handy, author of Time Travel Kitchen, praise for Home (Substack)
