Description:
|
'Write about something you know' is common advice for writers and American Belle Boggs follows this to the letter. Bringing her own experience to this wide-ranging exploration of infertility and motherhood ensures a thoughtful as well as factual account of this challenging issue.
Drawing on sociology, psychology and literature as well as medical research, this is a memoir with a difference: an accessible, empathetic examination of child-bearing in the 21st century, from the personal to the public, and everything between.

Interesting but not an easy book to read. The author didn't share the joy of the birth of her baby - sad, that she had to go back to work so soon after giving birth. More American in pitch. |

We found some of the questions a little too much, but we had a far reaching and interesting discussion nonetheless. |
