'This is a time when the exploration of the complexity of motherhood—the ambivalence, disappointed expectations, weighty traditions and complex self-reflection that it can entail—is all the more necessary.' by Rachel Farmer @lunatejournal lunate.co.uk/home/reviews/w…

I really enjoyed this thoroughly weird little book! It's thoughtful, interesting, and doesn't go in the direction you expect. Check out my review on the Asymptote Journal blog for more of my thoughts.
