Produktinformasjon

Oppdag The House With All The Lights On

Velkommen til en gripende reise gjennom kjærlighet, identitet og familiehistorier med The House With All The Lights On. Denne lyriske memoiren tar deg med dypere inn i universet av familiebånd hvor forskjeller skaper de mest vakre forbindelsene. Har du noen gang følt at du tilhører to verdener? Jessica Kirkness utforsker nettopp dette i sin unike historie.

En Familie Med Unike Bånd

Gjennom en fengslende fortelling om sine besteforeldre, som vokste opp døve i en hørende verden, og seg selv som hørende barn, setter Kirkness lys på utfordringene i å navigere mellom kulturelle barrierer. Her er noen av høydepunktene:

  • Perspektivskifte: Lær hvordan forskjeller kan binde familier sammen i motsetning til å skille dem ad.
  • Sensory Opplevelse: Boken gir en sjanse til å oppleve det som ofte blir oversett - "Deaf gain" og andre kompleksiteter i samfunnet.
  • Historisk Kontekst: Dykk ned i en tid hvor bruk av tegnspråk var forbudt, og se hvordan dette påvirket generasjoner av familier.

En Kjærlighetserklæring Til Familiebånd

The House With All The Lights On er mer enn bare en memoir; det er en kjærlighetserklæring til de som står oss nær. Kirkness' evne til å knytte sammen personlige erfaringer med universelle temaer gjør dette til en uunngåelig lesning for alle som har reflektert over sin egen identitet og familiebond.

Gjør deg klar til å bli berørt av denne elegant skrevne fortellingen. Med et språk som maler levende bilder av både røtter og forhold, vil du unne deg å bli kjent med Kirkness og hennes reise. Er du klar for å oppdage hva det virkelig betyr å være en del av en familie som aldri slutter å skinne, uansett forskjellene?
