A sumptuous celebration of 24 bohemian characters from around the world and their fabulous homes
In The Maverick Soul, Miv Watts opens the doors to twenty-five authentic bohemian homes, occupied by some of the world's most inspirational free spirits.

Klappentext
A bohemian is a person with an unconventional life, a wanderer, adventurer; an artist, musician or a vagabond. These are people who embrace clutter and shun the instant gratification of today's society, instead opting for a life filled with memories, beauty and comfort. From apartments to stately homes, this is a portrait of people who have a wide range of different tastes in music, fashion, art and literature, and come from all walks of life. ?
