I remembered reading a good review of The Irresistible Henry House and found a copy at my local library. This novel by Lisa Grunwald is a sweeping story of a baby raised in a “practice house” in the home economics department at a college during the late 1940′s. It’s the story of Henry’s life from birth to adulthood within this unusual upbringing. I found it totally engrossing- a wonderful big, almost oldfashioned, novel.
