{"product_id":"grindrod-john-tales-of-the-suburbs","title":"Grindrod, John - Tales of the Suburbs","description":"A twentieth century history of LGBTQ+ lives in suburbia\nThroughout LGBTQ+ history, suburbia has been seen as somewhere to escape\nfrom: a place where heterosexuality rules; where difference will not be tolerated;\nwhere you’ll never find a soulmate. But for many, those streets of\ntwitching curtains and pebble-dashed semis were – or still are – a place to call\nhome.\nFrom Addlestone to Wilmslow, Tales of the Suburbs explores the relatively\nuntold twentieth century tale of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people\nin suburbia. Through remarkable archive material and original interviews, social\nhistorian John Grindrod reveals stories that are messy and moving, dark\nand funny, uplifting and extraordinary. Together, they reclaim suburbia as\na space for all – or those that want it – where counter-cultural expression\nthrives despite the Neighbourhood Watch, and queer love and friendship\nbloom against the odds.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber Non Fiction","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Book","offer_id":50907750138134,"sku":"RMX-59973","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/ace26ce7bf6249ca76c4aa7716f65761.jpg?v=1767708382","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/grindrod-john-tales-of-the-suburbs","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
