"Cities and towns have distinct voices, I'm convinced. Their neighborhoods, houses, and rooms tell tales; they hold deep impressions of their makers and their keepers. Like the kid in the movie who sees dead people, I hear buildings. You could call me a house whisperer. The stories are what
interest me. The buildings are the stage on which the drama is enacted." (p. xvii)
