Book Synopsis
Nadia Sablin's lyrical and evocative photographs in Aunties capture the small details and daily rituals of her septuagenarian aunts in a small Russian village.

Trade Review
"What shines through most strongly in the book is [Sablin's] admiration for these indomitable women. The book moves effortlessly from close observation of objects–two bowls of borscht on a faded tabletop, sheets drying in a shed– to intimate documentary–an aunt bent in concentration over a crossword–and from dark interiors to almost other-worldly daylight. ... Aunties is an elegy for a way of life as much as a loving homage to the women who embody it." -- Sean O'Hagan * The Guardian *
"Sablin's lyrical photos, taken over several summers, capture the small details and rituals of her aunts' dreamlike days. She quilts together a thoughtful meditation on memory, ageing, and belonging." -- Karen Kelner * The Independent *
