Rooms of One's Own: 50 Places That Made Literary… by Adrian Mourby
Some fascinating gems in this collection, but also some of the fifty felt like they were making up the numbers. I think would have preferred fewer places with greater detail.

Duncan becomes a house-husband after a redundancy while his wife returns to work full-time. Interesting scenario, leading to a well-paced and believable book with a good mixture of people. Encouraging.
