Om denne bog

''This book is both heart-rending and gorgeous. It crosses the line many times but ultimately, it''s about love. He teaches us humanity.'' MIRIAM MARGOLYES

''Thank you, Joey, for getting your dad off his arse to write this book.'' HUGH BONNEVILLE

''A beautiful book - powerful, persuasive, illuminating, moving.'' GYLES BRANDRETH

''This is a wonderful and important book. Beautifully written, of course; but full of pain and joy, concern and celebration.'' SIMON RUSSELL BEALE

''A powerful, multi-faceted, myth-busting account of the most marginalised and belittled out-group in modern society.'' SIMON JARRETT, author of Those They Called Idiots

For much of history, people with learning disabilities have been regarded as unworthy of interest - often seen as a threat to the social order and sometimes dismissed as barely human. While recent years have seen an improvement, learning-disabled people are still treated as fundamentally different.

Beautiful Lives is a personal and pragmatic account, told through the eyes of a father whose son has severe learning disabilities. From early civilisation to the chilling realities of twentieth-century eugenics, this powerful book uncovers a startling and rarely told history - one deeply embedded in the challenges still faced today.

Unwin shapes this history into a powerful story of love, lived experience and the long struggle for a better future.
