"Lucy Worsley takes us through the bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen, covering the architectural history of each room, and giving us, an eye-popping account of how its use has evolved from medieval times to the present day. By focusing on what people actually did in bed, in the bath, at the table and at the stove - from sauce-stirring to breastfeeding, teeth-cleaning to masturbation, getting dressed to getting married - this book will make you see your home witih new eyes. A fascinating look at how people really lived, loved and died over the centuries. 'If Walls Could Talk' accompanies Lucy Worsley's major BBC TV series, produced by Silver River"--Publisher's description, p. [2] of dust jacket.
