The Reading Nook Where Time Slows Down
At the back of the cave home, a small reading nook waits inside a side chamber. It is just large enough for an armchair, a lamp, a narrow bookshelf, and a blanket that seems permanently draped over one arm of the chair. The ceiling is lowest here, and the stone walls wrap around the space so closely that visitors almost whisper without meaning to. Marta uses the nook as her personal hiding place from the world.
