Oh my god, WHAT a gorgeous book this is.

I'm a sucker for abandoned houses. Who lived there, what was their life like, why did they leave so much behind? A home once lived in and loved only to be laid bare to time and the elements is a bittersweet thought. Sansivero captures this very feeling with America the Abandoned. Mystery, nostalgia, wonder, sadness, and beauty are all conveyed through his vivid, stunning photographs of these deserted homes. Every single image was a time capsule, a story in itself.

(As a Virginian, I also really loved that we had so many homes represented in this collection!)

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love a good coffee table book and I am fascinated by older buildings, especially abandoned ones. This beautiful and haunting books gives the reader the opportunity to explore those places from the safety of a book. Each image a caption is seared into my brain.

I want to set this on my coffee table. I want to share the photos with friends and family. I wish I had the courage to explore these types of places. I think this is a book that anyone with similar interests would LOVE!

Thank you to Net Galley and Artisan Books for the ARC. All opinions are my own!
