Review
A sanctuary of revelation about the bafflingly contradictory experience of becoming and being a mother . . . In places I laughed aloud in relieved recognition―Rebecca Abrams, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
[I] salute Kate Figes's sensitive book which, admirably, helps redress the balance between the plethora of pregnancy manuals and the ridiculous paucity of advice on how to cope after―Leonie Miller, MAIL ON SUNDAY
The complete manual of the terrors, exhaustion and passionate emotions of the post-partum existence. A classic―THE TIMES
