‘A diverse mix of contributors represents a range of families and their dynamics for all readers to relate to…So many people are longing to belong, yearning for connection. Family: Stories of Belonging offers varying forms of family and storytelling for the reader to connect with…This collection will bring you closer to whoever defines the word ‘family’ for you.’ * ArtsHub * ‘[Family] includes no shortage of beautiful, tender writing about “traditional” family bonds…but many contributors also reflect a broader understanding of the idea…[with] contributions which seek to expand such notions beyond the realm of the interpersonal.’ * West Australian * ‘Family tales, happy or unhappy, are possibly our first encounter with the universals. And they are endlessly varied and fascinating, as these meditations and memoirs demonstrate…There’s terrific writing here that opens up the whole notion of family.’ * Age * ‘What do we want as readers from a collection like this? Insight into lives that are not our own, writing that sings or stings, perhaps the self-improvement of an emotional weights session to build our empathy muscles. Family delivers on all counts. It has been curated with care and flair.’ * Australian Book Review *
