A bicycle in wartime. A chainstore armchair. A velvet jacket. A stone from a distant beach. Some of our strongest, longest lasting relationships are hidden in plain view - the relationships we have with the objects we own. What do our possessions do for us? And how do they do it? In The Promise of Things, Ruth Quibell explores how our possessions can speak to us and about us.
