A room of her own, is an interiors book, dripping in opulence, style, wealth, and beauty. Flipping through the pages of 16 homes (20 women) it's hard to forget the class divide prevalent in society. Ultimately this is a book of interiors, belonging to rich white women. Despite the imbalance, I found myself lost in the fantastical worlds of these creative women. The writing by Robyn Lea is lovely and the glimpses into their homes definitely entertained my curiosity. The title pages have the most brilliant collages and the book nails the ratio of text to images (I like my interior books image heavy!).
