'What home can offer us.' BBC Women's Hour 'Making [home] a source of comfort and connection.' Observer 'How to achieve this...' Times. We all need a safe place to balance our private and work lives. Such a refuge is increasingly rare, however, due to the demands of modern life. Angela Neustatter uncovers eleven ways in which people have created a shelter for their hearts in very different circumstances. Her investigation ranges from the risks of trading up houses to balancing work and the home, from her own family to tower-blocks in London and Manchester; from Australia and Texas to an eco-village in Wales.
