Three Houses, Many Lives

Informationen zum Autor Gillian Tindall is a master of miniaturist history, well known for the quality of her writing and the scrupulousness of her research; she makes a handful of people, a few locations or a dramatic event stand for the much larger picture, as her seminal book The Fields Beneath , approached the history of Kentish Town, London. She has also written on London's Southbank ( The House by the Thames ), on southern English counties ( Three Houses, Many Lives ), and the Left Bank ( Footprints in Paris ), amongst other locations, as well as biography and prize-winning novels. Her latest book, The Tunnel through Time , traced the history of the Crossrail route, the forthcoming ‘Elizabeth’ line. She has lived in the same London house for over fifty years.
