The Lost Properties of Love or building a child's home

or building a child's home library

from life close to the streets

from Beatnik Beach House to Scandi Rustic

The Lost Properties of Love or building a child's homeWhat if you could tell the truth about who you are, without risking losing the one you love? This is a book about love affairs and why we choose to have them; a book for anyone who has ever loved and wondered what it is all about. This is a book about the things we hide from other people. Love affairs, grief, domestic strife and the mess at the bottom of your handbag. Part memoir, part imagined history, in The Lost Properties of Love, Sophie Ratcliffe
