Peter Ward teaches in the Department of History at the University of British Columbia.
... packed with wonderful historic details about real Canadian
homes and families ... both of these books provide fascinating
nuggets of information ... about topics that have been obscured by
our myth-making American neighbour. And they bring to life the
unique texture of daily Canadian life that was buried in our
mothers’, fathers’, and grandparents’ journals, letters, pictures
and stories.
*The Vancouver Sun*
Throughout, in direct, simple prose, Ward offers stimulating
observations on and excellent documentation of the domestic
landscape. The photographs and other illustrations are, likewise,
highly informative ... highly recommended for all architecture,
interior design, and material culture collections.
*Library Journal*
... readers will enjoy this humanized view of Canadian
architecture. Ward’s book is a welcome complement to the recently
published Homeplace by Peter Ennals and Deryck Holdsworth.
