The See-Through House: My Father in Full Colour

`A charming account of a daughter, a house and a fastidious dad` Sunday TimesShelley Klein grew up in the Scottish Borders, in a house designed on a modernist open-plan grid. With colourful glass panels set against a forest of trees, it was like living in a work of art. Her father, Bernat Klein, was a textile designer whose pioneering colours and textures were a major contribution to 1960s and 70s style.Thirty years on, Shelley moves back home to care for her father, now in his eighties: the house has not changed and neither has his uncompromising vision – or his distinctive way of looking at the world. Told with great tenderness and humour, this is Shelley`s account of looking after an adored yet maddening parent and a piercing portrait of the grief that followed his death. `A sad, funny, utterly fascinating book about families, home and how to say goodbye` Mark Haddon`Original, moving and bracingly honest… often hilarious` Blake Morrison, Guardian`It is strange that grief should produce such a life-affirming book, but it has. Read it for the solace it contains, or for its captivating descriptions. Either way, it`s a delight` Telegraph
