About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Can women have it all? What does it mean to be a woman and a mother in the modern age?


In this passionate, funny and fierce polemic, Paloma Faith delves deep into the issues that face women today, from puberty and sexual awakenings, to battling through the expectations of patriarchy and the Supermum myth.

Infused with Paloma's characteristic humour and raw honesty about the challenges of IVF and the early years of motherhood, this book is a beautiful celebration of women's work and the invisible load women carry. Moving from questions around identity and how motherhood impacts on that, to what it even means to be a "good mother", how we need to embrace messiness, imperfection and the bitter sweet pleasures of being "selfish" and putting ourselves first.

Paloma invites us into her own coming of age and relationship with her mum, to explore how our bonds with our children evolve into adulthood. We see a glimpse of the complexities and joys of Paloma's experience of juggling romantic love, heartbreak and dating with the demands of motherhood.

Paloma has lived her life and it is fascinating and inspiring to hear the very human lessons she has learnt along the way. Inspiring for myself, and I’m sure many women, who have experienced loss of self along the way and refreshing to hear in her voice too.
Highly recommend to all- male or female- as there are certainly things in here that men should hear and understand!
Thanks for writing it Paloma! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A great book for women and one men should read too!

This is the book all expectant parents should read, but you’d never recommend it for fear of scaring them. Raw and very relatable.

Loved it.

Paloma’s character and honesty shine through the book. And even though I am a mother of many years ago, and now a grandmother, I was able to relate to it all, so much so I have recommended it to my daughter in law as well as my daughter. I didn’t want it to finish

Honesty and Truth.
