2 Ennerdale Drive Unauthorised Biography by Rosa Ainley

A missed family funeral and too many phone calls going nowhere, except to 2 Ennerdale Drive. Who will play detective?
2 Ennerdale Drive tells the story of the author's family through the spaces of their lives, weaving the texture of personalities - some touching, many eccentric - out of the well-worn details of London's built fabricPart social and architectural history, part personal memoir, Rosa Ainley takes the reader on a fascinating journey through her past which is both touching and bright. She digs deep, in search of lost moments, into the intimate corners of her private life. And yet the anecdotes she recounts, the photographs she muses over, and the homes she visits, are not only of interest to a member of the Ainley family, they offer a humorous and intelligent view of London's recent architectural past, suburban and theatrical, and a critical reflection on what it is to write a biography of one's own family. (Professor Jane Rendell, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London)
Rosa Ainley is a writer with a background in architecture and photography. Her published work ranges from short story to non-fiction, from academic texts and guidebooks to sound installations.
