City of Glass by Paul Auster and In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje are two completely different novels that have certain features in common.

The Definition of family is "A group consisting of parents and children living in a household". However this definition fails to recognise the great variability in families such as childfree couple’s single-parent families and homosexual partners.
