A Guide to Writer's Homes in New England
“Levine uses the symbolic envelope represented by the house to give us a feeling for the way the writers' respective imaginations pierced through the actual walls that held them and into that other dimension, fiction . . . These little trips to the 19th century are deliciously atmospheric, biographical appetizers that make you want to know more.”
