Description
Evenfield is a nostalgic exploration of childhood and the way it's remembered by adults. Written for those who cherish domestic routines and past joys, this novel follows Barbara Morant as she attempts to recreate her idyllic suburban childhood.
The house at Evenfield holds a special significance for Barbara, but when she leases it and undoes the changes made over the years, she discovers that the past is irretrievably changed. Lushly packed with domestic detail and references to popular culture, household products, advertisements, songs, décor, and pastimes, this novel provides a humorous yet profound exploration of childhood nostalgia.
With its unique blend of humor and insight, Evenfield offers a fascinating study of the human experience. This new edition includes an introduction by social historian Elizabeth Crawford, adding to the book's appeal for readers interested in domestic life and cultural history.
