Description
Riveting, funny, pointed, and poignant, the forty-four essays gathered in this anthology speak eloquently of dreams, memories -- and sometimes the painful realities -- of the personal landscapes we call home. For most people, the notion of home is central to their lives; by the same token, there are a multitude of definitions of the word, many of them very personal and particular. These essays explore the different meanings and significances of home, from a house where one grew up to a passion for a place. Not only do they provide fascinating and vivid glimpses into their authors' lives, but these recollections also invariably strike a chord with the reader. No matter how different from our own, each story touches us, eliciting reflection on our personal histories.
