Susan Brownmiller

My City Highrise Garden

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Big city highrises are chockfull of penthouses and terraces that garden innocents hope to turn into a sylvan paradise or a bower of roses. That's at least what they see in movies and real-estate ads. With honesty and humour, and thirty-five years of challenges and triumphs, best-selling author, Susan Brownmiller describes her battle to sustain an oasis of beauty twenty floors above street level in Manhattan.
