Reviews

In this searing book on fostering, futurity, and despair, Adam Ferner meditates on the unromantic work involved in looking after one another with a voice full of clarity and integrity. Unhappy Families takes children seriously, and wrestles unflinchingly with the impossible task of caring for them as they deserve in a burning world. -- Sophie Lewis, author of Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation
