When dear you have grown” -W. B. Yeats

pickSolid 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 on Goodreads. I think this book could‘ve been shorter but overall I enjoyed it. It picked up more towards the end & I predicted part of what happened but it was still a good story overall. Right mix of the supernatural or was it? I would read this author again.

New to me. So good.

pickThis one was a slow start for me because I don't have children. Or want them. But it's really well written even if I struggled to relate at the beginning.

pickThis book is a must-read. It talks about how transformative pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood is -- physically, emotionally, biologically, spiritually. It talks about all the things we don't tell women about these experiences and all the ways society fails mother's in WEIRD (wealthy, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) countries. It is brilliant! And infuriating. I'm long past pregnancy & childbirth, but this book still 👇
pickHeard Esther on the radio . It was from the Sydney Writers festival , not recent I don‘t think. I didn‘t realise her first book was Hideous Kinky . I saw the movie with Kate Winslett and loved it. This book is about 3 generations of women. I found it difficult at first to keep track of the characters as they had alternating chapters but finally got the hang of it. It all comes together nicely. Loved it.
