About The Book

The mystery that attracts Howard Mansfield’s attention is that some houses have life — are home, are dwellings, and others aren’t. Dwelling, he says, is an old-fashioned word that we’ve misplaced.

When we live heart and soul, we dwell. When we belong to a place, we dwell. Possession, they say, is nine-tenths of the law, but it is also what too many houses and towns lack. We are not possessed by our home places. This lost quality of dwelling — the soul of buildings — haunts most of our houses and our landscape.

Dwelling in Possibility is a search for the ordinary qualities that make some houses a home, and some public places welcoming.

“Like Thoreau, Mr. Mansfield is a keen observer and, in his neck of New Hampshire, a granitic critic of the rushed life.” — The Wall Street Journal
