This volume identifies the “right to comfort” as an invention of the postwar period and suggests that the modern mass home played a vital role in shaping new expectations for well-being and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicole C.Rudph","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51395086811428,"sku":"9781782385875","price":104.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_92f7d352-5b0d-437a-9180-58e0466d7421.jpg?v=1764949767","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/at-home-in-postwar-france-1764946854995","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
