From the playgrounds of Glasgow to the villages of Bangladesh; from religious rites to ancient superstitions; from the world's richest people to its powerless and enslaved, Lorna Gibb's masterful Childless Voices paints a global portrait of people without children. Brilliantly grouped by thematic commonality (Those who long, Those who were denied, Those who Choose, etc) the book is a testament to the power of listening, and the power of sharing stories. It is an essential, moving and surprising book on a subject which touches everyone.
A brave, pioneering book that gives voice to the stories behind an issue that affects millionsAbout the AuthorDr Lorna Gibb is the author of biographies of Rebecca West and Lady Hester Stanhope as well as the author of the novel A Ghost's Story. She is a senior lecturer at Middlesex University.
