Welcome to Litsy!

This book is a must-read. It talks about how transformative pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood is -- physically, emotionally, biologically, spiritually. It talks about all the things we don't tell women about these experiences and all the ways society fails mother's in WEIRD (wealthy, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) countries. It is brilliant! And infuriating. I'm long past pregnancy & childbirth, but this book still 👇

4⭐️/5⭐️

Heard Esther on the radio . It was from the Sydney Writers festival , not recent I don‘t think. I didn‘t realise her first book was Hideous Kinky . I saw the movie with Kate Winslett and loved it. This book is about 3 generations of women. I found it difficult at first to keep track of the characters as they had alternating chapters but finally got the hang of it. It all comes together nicely. Loved it.

Unpredictable, uncomfortable, poetic, and completely compelling. I loved this thorny series. Not for every reader, but I am delighted I read these 3 books. 4.5 🌟

Read this 4 book club! I really liked it! It‘s a family saga, but not a long, drawn-out one. It‘s very accessible. A lot of characters to get used to at 1st but it gets easier. I‘ll be eager to hear what ppl thought of Lila & her way of parenting. It has a satisfying end. Some heavy topics at times but very well done! 4 stars.
