Framing a Life, Building a House

Bag om Framing a Life, Building a House

What does it mean to build a house? How can it change a life? What happens if the builder is a woman, a teacher and a writer, a woman unaccustomed to tools? How does such a woman come to build at all? What happens, then, if that first house, whose every nail is known, is sold? How does one leave such a house, leave and go on to build another? This is a building story, but more it is a story of a woman builder and those without whom she could not have built. It is about how building changed not only that woman but also her sense of what a house is, how she came to know that building houses of wood builds the house of the spirit.

Beskrivelse af Framing a Life, Building a House

What does it mean
to build a house?
How can it change a life?
What happens if the builder is a woman, a teacher
and a writer, a woman unaccustomed to tools?
How does such a woman come to build at all?
What happens, then, if that first house, whose
every nail is known, is sold? How does one leave
such a house, leave and go on to build another?
This is a building story, but more it is a story of
a woman builder and those without whom she
could not have built. It is about how building
changed not only that woman but also her sense
of what a house is, how she came to know that
building houses of wood builds the house of
the spirit.
