Do you live in a house, a condominium, an apartment? Where ever you call home, it is central to your life. Home is a place of shelter, it is the place where you keep your possessions, home allows you to express your tastes and interests, home is a place to work or relax and, often, home is where you kick off your shoes and read a good book.
Have you noticed many of the books you read include a home as central to the story line? In literature, as in life, home is a dominant force.
Some examples I can think of where a home plays an important part in the unfolding of the story are:
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. The home is Tara the O'Hara southern plantation
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. The home is the apartment Sarah and her family were forced to vacate during World War ll
Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan. The home is the Kelliher family vacation home in Maine
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. The home is Thornfield Hall, Mr. Rochester's home where Jane worked as governess and where much of the plot unfolds.
If you think of any additions to this list, I would enjoy hearing from you. Also, if you are planning a new chapter in your life by buying or selling real estate, I would be happy to put my twenty-five years of real estate experience to work for you as you embark on this phase of the story of your life.You can contact Marguerite Flavinat 617-448-2165
