Fiction
In the Shadow of the Springs I Saw
by Barbara Adair
Description
This ethnographic novel explores and tells the stories of the people who live in the Art Deco buildings of Springs now. It is the imagined lives of those who live in a space that is not theirs historically but one that they have reclaimed. In times of doom and complaint, here is a new narrative: one of revival, vigour and celebration.
