For that kind of nostalgia I would strongly recommend Abraham Verghese’s A covenant of water. Anyone at all who lived in or kept visiting a rural home in their childhood will be smiling right from the first chapter (other emotions, many other emotions, will come later, it is a big big book)

A highly similar account was from former silklister Ramu Narayan of his childhood holidays (written ~25 years ago, but the period in question would've been ~60 years ago), which sadly I can't locate a URL for at this time. Reminds me of the saying that "creativity needs constraints".
