A Housing Bubble Burst, A Family Home At Risk. Angela Flournoy's 'The Turner House'

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 17, 2016

Old houses are witnesses to growing families and changing cities. For her debut novel The Turner House, Angela Flournoy found inspiration in the houses of Detroit, and the families that stayed despite the chaos around them. The results speak for themselves: the book was a National Book Award Finalist, one of the National Book Foundation’s "5 Under 35," and more.
