Description

Paul Collins and his family abandoned the hills of San Francisco to move to the Welsh countryside-to move, in fact, to the village of Hay-on-Wye, the "Town of Books" that boasts fifteen hundred inhabitants-and forty bookstores. Taking readers into a secluded sanctuary for book lovers, and guiding us through the creation of the author's own first book, Sixpence House becomes a heartfelt and often hilarious meditation on what books mean to us.

The story chronicles a family's move from California to Great Britain and their search for the perfect house for them in the village they have decided to make their new home. Haven't we all dreamed of having such an adventure? This was a good, light read that had me laughing out loud at times. I enjoyed reading about the quirky characters that inhabit the village; especially the "King". The author had some interesting observations or comparisons of life in America versus life in Great Britain and I really found their real estate rules crazy. It must be terribly frustrating to be a home buyer there!The village where they have chosen to settle, once dying as the modern world raced past them, has been revived as the. "Book Capital of the World". The author gives us an in depth look into that world. As an avid reader, I was horrified by the book burnings and fascinated that there would be so many books in one place this would be necessary.The book is full of interesting tidbits about the world of books. The thread that ties everything together is the search for the perfect place to call home.Some reviewers felt the author was too descriptive with the details about this family's daily life in the village, down to what hey were eating. I embraced those details. As anyone who has traveled to Great Britain knows, some of their food can only be described as interesting. For me it was like a trip there without leaving home. I found this book very enjoyable.
