When writers describe their home life at an older age, the differences are clearly smaller. Home and home life are emerging as topics of interest in research now that values are softer. As a concept, the home is self-evident, but difficult to define. Spaces interest researchers, and home is significant in that it is a place where one leaves and returns to. For many writers, writing an autobiography is a homecoming, a return to the landscape of their childhood.
Home is a space people feel strongly about.
