How can we communicate better across the generational divide?

When Rowan was sixteen, she experienced a mental-health breakdown. She and her mother, Christie, were barely speaking but they finally began to talk. Their conversations not only revealed the chasm between their generations, but also enabled Christie to really get to know her daughter – and in doing so, understand how she could help Rowan recover.

In an age of polarisation, this is a book about how a mother and daughter find humour in the things that divide them and with it a way to connect. Its bare honesty will have you laughing – and possibly crying – out loud as it shows that you are not alone.

Critic Reviews

No Filters takes on all those thorny subjects on which young, middle-aged and older people cannot always see eye to eye — race, sexuality, gender, class, politics, climate change… A much-needed conversation between generations (Suzanne O'Sullivan)
I devoured this joint memoir… it is a warm and brave look at some of the mental health pressures our teenagers are dealing with (Alice O'Keeffe)
[An] unflinching memoir
Strikingly honest… an eye-opening account of the mental health crisis gripping young people
An insightful, if tough, read… This engaging book sheds light on the boggling number of mental health issues faced by today’s teenagers (Katharine Spurrier and James Carey-Douglas)
I loved this book and I know it will help many families during difficult times. No Filters is psychologically astute, totally honest, and beautifully written (JULIA SAMUEL)
No Filters is about what it means to be a teenage girl and what it means to parent them. It made me cry, laugh and hug my daughter extra tightly (BRYONY GORDON)
An incredibly brave, generous and important book, which challenged my thinking about parenting, yet also consoled me and made me feel less alone. Parents everywhere will be pressing it into one another’s hands (CLOVER STROUD)
Full of compassion, honesty, insight and hope... This is a small book full of heart that will help parents and their teenagers understand the need for patience and empathy in a world that seems determined to divide us from each other, even from those we were born to love (DEREK OWUSU)
Compassionate, honest, insightful and in places absolutely hilarious (MARK HADDON)
