Motherhood

Having reached her late thirties, a woman considers whether or not to become a mother. Over the course of several years, casting amond the influence of her partner, family, mysticism and her own body, she struggles to make a moral and meaningful choice. Intimate and provocative, Motherhood is a truly original meditation on time, femininity and the obligation to procreate. 'Quietly affecting... As concerned with art as it is with mothering' Sally Rooney 'Likely to become the defining literary work on the subject' Guardian 'Courageous, necessary, visionary...Motherhood is going to mean a lot to many different people' Elif Batuman
