Unfamiliar
SHORTLISTED FOR THE SALTIRE SOCIETY SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
An unconventional, unexpectedly funny, brutally honest memoir about infertility, pregnancy and motherhood
''You and your partner want a baby. But your two bodies can''t make a baby together.''
If you want a baby but your body says otherwise -
If you don''t know the polite way to say thank you for the sperm -
If you''re waiting for the sound of a brand-new heartbeat -
If you know it takes a village to raise a baby but have no idea who should be doing what -
If you''re lurching between bliss and bewilderment -
If you don''t fit the shape of what you''ve been told a mother should be -
Reach for The Unfamiliar and don''t let go.
Moving and immersive, and written with wisdom, disarming humour and raw honesty, The Unfamiliar casts a fresh eye on motherhood and challenges our assumptions about pregnancy, gender roles, queer identity and what it means to be a parent.
