HTML:<p><b>The Pulitzer Prize–winning author brings "</b><b>clarity, intelligence and grace"</b> <b>to the tale of building a home in this <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller (<i>The</i><i>New York Times Book Review</i>).</b><br /> <br /> It's 1983 and Jonathan and Judith Souweine are ready to build their forever home on a four-acre lot just outside of Amherst, Massachusetts. A lawyer and a psychologist, neither has much experience with the process. In this <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, Tracy Kidder leads readers through the grand adventure of building the American dream.<br /> <br /> In his portrayal, constructing a staircase or applying a coat of paint becomes a riveting tale of conflicting wills, the strength and strain of relationships, and pride in craftsmanship. With drama, sensitivity, and insight, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>The Soul of the New Machine</i> takes us from blueprints to moving day. In the process, he sheds new light on objects usually taken for granted and creates a vivid cast of characters you will not soon forget.<br /> <br /> "Tracy Kidder has done it again. . . . What might seem like ordinary work takes on an extraordinary, unpredictable life of its own. The subject is fascinating, the book a remarkable piece of craftsmanship in itself." —<i>Chicago Tribune Book World</i><br /> <br /> "Kidder makes us feel with a splendid intensity the complex web of relationships and emotions that inevitably comes into play in the act of bringing a work of architecture to fruition." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></p>.
