Feelings about lost or destroyed places rouse our deepest emotions. We pour so much of ourselves into our houses, suburbs, towns and landscapes that they not only represent our lives, they become our lives. Losing a home or a suburb or leaving a homeland can be like losing a loved one. This book examines what it means to lose a place forever and why we return, and keep on returning, to the places that remain in our memories
