About this listen

Like grief or falling in love, becoming a mother is an experience both ordinary and transformative—one that not only turns your world upside-down, but your inner self, too.

In this frank, funny and fearless memoir, Marianne Levy writes with heart-wrenching honesty about love and loss, rage and pain, fear and joy. She breaks the silence around the emotional turmoil of raising a child and asks why motherhood is at once so venerated and so undervalued.

Here is the real story of being a mother in the modern world, voicing the unspoken truths that everyone needs to hear.

I loved this book because the author related her personal experience, accompanied by real data and what other people thought or told her. It chimed with my own experience. Brilliant and hard-hitting.

Honest and raw

In one interview with the Guardian, the author hopes her book will be read not just by mothers but men and single people. This is my hope now too. We need to talk more about motherhood - but not the glossy bits only but also the pain, the fear, the discomfort, the mourning.

Speechless - must read for everyone

What a beautiful, tender, funny, and well written book. I loved it. So many moments had me nodding emphatically in agreement. Several moments - particularly in chapters about the pain we endure as women - had me raging. Every chapter is a brilliant vignette on motherhood and I will be recommending this book to every parent I know.

This should have been exactly my kind of book. Mummy aged 35 with two children under 3, obsessed with all things birth and maternity and womanhood. There were some good bits and some very moving bits in here. The author exposed herself which was brave. And there might have been a good couple of essays or op eds in here, but sadly there isn’t enough content for a book. It left me feeling disappointed. The narration was eloquent but a little too slow, a little too soppy. I listened to the end because I don’t like to leave things unfinished but I can’t say that I found the book enjoyable overall or that I would recommend it.

Just about OK
