{"product_id":"9781915087416","title":"On Family : the joys and challenges of family life; a photographic project by The School of Life","description":"Families are a mystery. Is everyone's as complicated as ours? Is there such a thing as a `normal' one? We generally only get to see the polished exteriors and are left to imagine what might be going on behind closed doors.    Here is a book that takes us on a tour around the reality of families. It provides a rare, privileged glimpse into private realms, allowing us a new, profound understanding of ourselves and others.    Comprised of 60 interviews and portraits captured by five supremely talented photographers - Mark Hobbs, Kate Peters, Marjolaine Ryley, Michelle Sank and Naomi Williams - the book introduces us to an extraordinary array of participants: new parents, stepchildren, siblings, the wealthy and the marginalised, the old and the young.    What surfaces is the astounding diversity of family life - and the number of commonalities too. Above all, we recognise the fundamental role that family plays in making us who we are.    This is a book for anyone who has ever wondered about their family or fantasised about being part of someone else's - in short, this is a book for us all.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308868874613,"sku":"9781915087416","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781915087416.jpg?v=1762809467","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781915087416","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
