A mother who wants her daughter to fulfill her own dreams and a daughter who wants to be everything her mother is not - both may love each other, but neither understands the other.  Claire Robson escapes her village and her family through a scholarship to university, where she easily becomes a hippie, marries the son of a family far wealthier than her own, and plunges headlong into domesticity. But before long she leaves her husband and rides her motorcycle straight into the lesbian community to become first a squatter, then a school principal.  This memoir reads like a novel, and is by turns laugh-out-loud funny and heartbreakingly poignant. It is a coming out story that tackles the trade-offs some gay people make after they leave the closet and choose acceptance instead of activism, work instead of sex, success instead of happiness, and silence instead of truth.  While this may not seem to be everyone’s story, the author’s courage, honesty, warmth, and humor make it an unquestionably universal one.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50371963126033,"sku":"CIN0870136941G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870136941.jpg?v=1751170563"},{"product_id":"writing-beyond-recognition-book-claire-robson-9781975504199","title":"Writing Beyond Recognition","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50397074194705,"sku":"CIN1975504194G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1975504194.jpg?v=1781171099"},{"product_id":"elder-abuse-in-the-lgbtq2sa-community-book-claire-robson-9783031333194","title":"Elder Abuse in the LGBTQ2SA+ Community","description":"This book describes and analyzes the lived experience of elder abuse from the queer community.

It discusses the experiences by transwomen, gay men and lesbians of financial abuse, physical and sexual abuse, homophobic abuse, and neglect within partner relationships, residential care, in home care, and religious organizations. Queer and trans elders have been described as ‘The Silent Generation’, since they have lived through times when their sexual and gender identities were criminalized and pathologized. The book shows that they are far more at risk to suffer abuse and neglect by those they should be able to trust, since they are more likely to have encountered all key risk factors, such as isolation, previous abuse and trauma, and mistrust of the health care system. Their vulnerability has been overlooked and this book addresses that gap. As such, this book provides a great resource to anyone working with elders, including medical professionals, care providers, police, counsellors, and policy makers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51060540080401,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51060542767377,"sku":"NIN9783031333163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52670513905937,"sku":"NLS9783031333163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3031333160.jpg?v=1750806200"},{"product_id":"basically-queer-book-claire-robson-9781433133466","title":"Basically Queer","description":"Basically Queer offers an introduction to what it can look and feel like to live life as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, two spirited and trans.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52085175222545,"sku":"NGR9781433133466","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781433133466.jpg?v=1756815201"},{"product_id":"basically-queer-book-claire-robson-9781433133459","title":"Basically Queer","description":"Basically Queer offers an introduction to what it can look and feel like to live life as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, two spirited and trans.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52477736321297,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52477737500945,"sku":"NLS9781433133459","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781433133459.jpg?v=1759846099"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-claire-robson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
