Signed title page of -Other People's Houses- by Vona Groarke.
Other People’s Houses, Gallery Press 1999, was received by the Times Literary Supplement as a remarkable achievement, praising its author’s remarkably assured and beautifully regulated voice. The collection uses the image of the house, and houses themselves, as the setting for the enactment of particular lives. It ranges from the witty Open House through richly suppressed narratives such as Domestic Arrangements, to the more sombre Holiday Home.
