The Lamp and the Chair: Small essays on domestic peace
June Alderwood
127 pages~2 hr 32 min read18 chapters$4.99
A well-placed lamp and a chair angled just right can change how a whole evening feels. These small essays linger on the quiet corners of a home: the ritual of turning down lights room by room, why a single comfortable chair matters more than a whole furnished house, and how small orderly habits at dusk settle a restless mind. Gentle, observant listening for the end of the day.
