Prologue by José Antonio Marina

«A down-to-earth book, useful and a corroboration of an unfairly judged job, and which someone had to write.» Antonio Iturbe, Qué Leer

«With her cooking tips, economising at home and working out the life-work balance, Zamora has restored the dignity to the always forgotten house-wife.» La Razón

«Yesterday I again gave Home, sweet home, as a present. I wish to make clear that it has become my favourite gift. It always encourages debate and conversation among any group of people, of any age and lifestyle.» Comment made by a reader.

Synopsis

In hard times like now, a return to basics is essential; taking care of our home to reconcile work and family, and also to enjoy our free time and friends. And in our busy lives, home is more and more a stabilizing force which brings us peace. This book spells out the keys to organising oneself at home, getting the most out of household tasks and achieving a warm environment. It offers attractive suggestions both for those at home full-time and for those who only devote part of their time to the home. The author, a journalist who has fully dedicated herself to looking after her home, illustrates this with personal stories which make for both a stimulating and enjoyable read.
