故事開始於約翰「米妮」摩爾在愛達荷州建造了一座礦坑，不過隨後他把礦坑賣給了來自英國的亨利．米勒。亨利之後迎娶了當地女子安妮，並為她蓋了一座豪宅。但在亨利去世之後，安妮遭人欺騙，失去了一切財產，並僅剩這棟豪宅。於是，就像一般人都可以做得到的方式，她和兒子開始養豬維生，可是偏偏鎮上的人卻不想要豬。不過誰能想到，安妮的方法居然不是把豬趕走，而是決定整座房子一起搬走.....Author Dave Eggers and artist Júlia Sardà spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and tall-ish true tale of ingenuity.It all started when John “Minnie” Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion. After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked – losing all but the mansion – she and her son took to raising pigs, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie would remove the whole mansion instead – rolling it away slowly on logs – while she and her son were still living in it?Narrated with metafictional flair, make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage it.
