Includes a brand new chapter
From the author of Jailbirds and one of Elle's '50 Game Changers' (2019) comes a timely exploration of different forms of living together.
Seventy-six per cent of British adults feel that we've become more distanced from our neighbours in the last 20 years. We are less likely than our grandparents, or even our parents, to know the names of our neighbours, to enjoy multi-generational friendships or to share resources and childcare. With mental health at epidemic levels, the climate crisis worsening, and society feeling increasingly divided, this game-changing book asks whether there are better ways to live.
Mim Skinner sets out to explore communities that have rejected individualism and nuclear family
