The House With All The Lights On is a lyrical exploration of family, identity and history, and what it is to be a member of a family where the most beautiful of bonds are born in difference
''If I were to tell you our story in sign language-the story of my grandparents and me-I''d begin with a single finger touching my chest.''
Jessica Kirkness has traversed the boundary between deaf and hearing cultures all her life. Her memoir tells the story of her grandparents who grew up deaf in a hearing worldone where sign language was banned for much of the twentieth centuryand weaves in her own experience as a hearing child in a family that often struggled to navigate their elders'' difference.
This journey takes her from the family home to the workplaces of research audiologists, and back to England where she visits her grandparents'' old schools and other family landmarksdiscovering along the way how terribly their deafness has been misunderstood.
The House With All The Lights On captures the universal experience of navigating complex family relationships and beautifully explores the nuances of identity in what is both a memoir and a love letter to those closest to her heart.
