A book which is left on a shelf for a decade is a dead thing, but it is also a chrysalis, packed with the potential to burst into new life. Wandering through her house that day, Hill's eyes were opened to how much of that life was stored in her home, neglected for years. Howard's End is on the Landing charts the journey of one of the nation's most accomplished authors as she revisits the conversations, libraries and bookshelves of the past that have informed a lifetime of reading and writing.
"...Delightful bibliophile's memoir...Just try to read this book without nosing around your own shelves"--Booklist
"Hill provides us with a reading list the equal of any degree course."--The Times (London)
