Siblings

by Nick Kelsh, Anna Quindlen

Almost every life is profoundly touched--and complicated--by a sibling relationship. In intimate childhood portraits of brothers and sisters, Siblings joins Nick Kelsh's exquisite black-and-white photography--free of all sentimentality--to Anna Quindlen's wry and tender essays. Here are forgotten moments, naked emotions and conflicting urges, to be treasured in the rediscovery. Infant toes curl against each other, brothers fight tooth and nail, a toddler views a new baby with horror and later touches it with love.

i have always been fascinated by how gender combinations and birth order affect personalities and family interactions. this book made me laugh, it made me sad, it made me wonder, and it made me thankful that I wasn't an only child!

A beautiful look at siblings and family relationships with gorgeous photography. Anna Quindlen again proves she can do no wrong when she puts pen to paper.
