A Guardian book to look out for for 2024''A bold and intimate grappling with the hidden history at the heart of a childhood that was set up as a collectivist social experiment'' EWAN MORRISON, author of How to Survive Everything''Strikingly good'' NOREEN MASUD, author of A Flat PlaceIn the turbulent late seventies, six-year-old Susanna Crossman moved with her mother and siblings from a suburban terrace to a crumbling mansion deep in the English countryside. They would share their new home with over fifty other residents from all over the world, armed with worn paperbacks on ecology, Marx and radical feminism, drawn together by utopian dreams of remaking the world. They did not leave for fifteen years.While the Adults adopted new names and liberated themselves from domestic roles, the Kids ran free. In the community, nobody was too young to discuss nuclear war and children learned not to expect wiped noses or regular bedtimes. Instead, they made a home in a house with no locks or keys, never knowing when they opened doors whether they’d find violent political debates or couples writhing under sheets.Decades later, and armed with hindsight, Crossman revisits her past, turning to leading thinkers in philosophy, sociology and anthropology to examine the society she grew up in, and the many meanings of family and home. In this luminous memoir, she asks what happens to children who are raised as the product of social experiments and explores how growing up estranged from the outside world shapes her as a parent today.''Crossman writes with such curiosity and heart-breaking honesty of what it is to find her own truth. I was enthralled by this book'' LILY DUNN, author of Sins of my Father''Beautiful, bold, tender. I loved this gorgeous memoir about making home'' PRAGYA AGARWAL, author of Hysterical

Produktinformasjon

Utforsk barndommens hemmeligheter med 'Home Is Where We Start'

'Home Is Where We Start: Growing Up in the Fallout of the Utopian Dream' er en gripende og tankevekkende selvbiografi som tar deg med på en reise gjennom en uslåelig barndom. Forfatternes barndomsopplevelse i et kollektivt samfunn gir et unikt innblikk i hvordan et utopisk drøm nådde sine grenseland, og hvilke innvirkninger det har hatt på dem senere i livet.

En unik fortelling fra en annen tid

Gjennom Susanna Crossmans øyne får vi et nært innblikk i livet i et hus uten låser, der over 50 beboere fra ulike deler av verden deler de samme veggene. Her diskuteres alt fra kjernefysisk krig til radikal feminisme, og hvor barn leker fritt mens voksne frigjør seg fra tradisjonelle roller. Hvordan påvirker dette barna som vokser opp i en slik setting?

Hva gjør 'Home Is Where We Start' spesifikk?

  • Intimt og personlig: Boken er skrevet med en hjertelig åpenhet, og Crossman deler ikke bare sine minner, men gir også refleksjoner om hva det betyr å finne sin egen sannhet.
  • Betydningsfull kontekst: Forfatternes arbeid inkluderer tanker fra ledende filosofer, sosiologer, og antropologer, noe som gir dybde og resonans til historiene som deles.
  • Visjonær utforskning: Hva skjer med barn som vokser opp i samfunnet, og hvordan former det dem i foreldrerollen i dag? Dette er spørsmål som Crossman tar for seg.
