Beschreibung
Sometimes I'm with the baby and I think: you're my heart and my soul and I would die for you. Other times I think: tiny moron leave me the fuck alone

A year has passed since Ari gave birth and still she can't locate herself in her altered universe. Sleep-deprived lonely and unprepared she struggles through the strange disjointed rhythms of her days and nights. Her own mother long dead and her girlhood friendships faded she is a woman in need. When Mina older alone pregnant moves to town Ari sees hope of a comrade-in-arms. Perhaps the hostile terrain could be more easily navigable together.

With purifying anger and outrageous humour Elisa Albert unleashes on a culture that turns its new mothers into exiles and expects them to act like natives. And as she defines the raw experience of motherhood Albert offers a hilarious and devastatingly honest examination of how we become the women we are.
