"Two best friends share an aversion to 'the human shackles' of motherhood, only to discover that life has other plans. With a twisty, enveloping plot, the novel poses some of the knottiest questions about freedom, disability, and dependence – all in language so blunt it burns." - The International Booker Prize 2023 Panel of Judges

Gripping, powerful

5 stars

This book was not easy to read. I empathised with the characters so much that I went along their arduous journey, and I'm happy I did. It's written with the wisdom of someone who's experienced the trauma of having/not having a child and has come out of it with clarity for the ages. Truly beautiful!
