This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan，made f friendliness and warmth，but als its darker side f sciety.

In Ferghana，he attends a muntain funeral(葬礼) fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan，he is saddened by the dust strms，diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully rganizes histrical insights and cultural references，making his tale a well­runded picture f Uzbekistan，seen frm Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American，as well as his delicate stmach. As the authr explains，this is neither a travel nr a histry bk，r even a piece f reprtage. Whatever it is，the result is a fine and vivid descriptin f the purest f Central Asian traditins.

With the yung unable t affrd t leave hme and the ld at risk f islatin(孤独)，mre families are chsing t live tgether.
The drway t peace and quiet，fr Nick Bright at least，leads straight t his mther-in-law：she lives n the grund flr，while he lives upstairs with his wife and their tw daughters.
Fur years ag they all mved int a three-strey Victrian huse in Bristl—ne f a grwing number f multigeneratinal families in the UK living tgether under the same rf. They share a frnt dr and a washing machine，but Rita Whitehead has her wn kitchen，bathrm，bedrm and living rm n the grund flr.

And what des Nick think? “Frm my standpint，it all seems t wrk very well. Wuld I recmmend it? Yes，I think I wuld. ”
It’s hard t tell exactly hw many peple agree with him，but research indicates that the numbers have been rising fr sme time. Official reprts suggest that the number f husehlds with three generatins living tgether had risen frm 325,000 in 2001 t 419,000 in 2013.
