Читать книгу Lost in Motherhood - Grace Timothy - Страница 4

‘At turns hilarious, horrifying and always painfully honest, [this] is a memoir about how one woman ‘gained a baby and lost her shit.’ This is the side of motherhood and what it can do to your mental health and your labia that isn’t covered in NCT classes.’

SARRA MANNING, Red Magazine

‘A spit-out-your-tea funny chronicle of becoming a mum for the first time, from the awkwardness of making friends on maternity leave to the politics of post-baby sex. A great read.’

Marie Claire

‘An honest take on the way we approach and define motherhood. It made me laugh and Grace is a refreshing voice on the subject.’

LORRAINE CANDY, Sunday Times Style

‘Hilarious in parts, poignant in others, reading Grace’s musings on motherhood felt like stumbling across the diary of a witty classmate. I wanted to hug her, thank her for reassuring me that I’m not alone in questioning my self-identity as a mother and then I wanted to invite her to the pub so we could chat about pregnancy wind and post-birth coital relations. Five stars plus a little bit of laughter-wee.’

SARAH TURNER, author of The Unmumsy Mum

‘I howled with laughter’

LUCY PAVIA, Marie Claire

‘Honestly brilliant’

EMINE RUSTON, Psychologies magazine

‘This is the best book my daughter ever wrote about her vagina.’

CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY

‘Grace takes a deeper, more raw look at what being a mother means for a modern woman. Like Bryony Gordon did for the twenty-somethings in the Wrong Knickers, Grace has now shone a similarly funny and candid light on motherhood. She has managed to express exactly how I felt as a new mum, but in the way you’d like your funniest motherhood anecdote to be told.’

HELEN WHITAKER, author of The School Run

‘A friend of mine just had her first baby. I didn’t send her champagne or flowers or breast pads. I sent her Grace’s book. I’m now that baby’s godmother. It’s that good.’

GEORGIA TENNANT

‘Low on data but high on empathy, this is the memoir on the overwhelming identity crisis that becoming a mother can be.’

The Pool

‘This book absolutely blew me away.’

RUTH CRILLY

‘Grace writes with wicked wit and real emotional resonance too – even though I’m not a mother I related deeply to her exploration of what it’s like to navigate the world as a woman, and the expectations that are placed upon us all.’

DAISY BUCHANAN, author of How To Be A Grown Up

‘Brilliant!’

CLEMMIE TELFORD

‘Such a good read, even for us dads. There’s talk of vaginas, babies, IKEA chairs and, er, more vaginas.’
