Summary

An unconventional, unexpectedly funny, brutally honest memoir about infertility, pregnancy and motherhood

'You and your partner want a baby. But your two bodies can't make a baby together.'

If you want a baby but your body says otherwise - 

If you don't know the polite way to say thank you for the sperm - 

If you're waiting for the sound of a brand-new heartbeat - 

If you know it takes a village to raise a baby but have no idea who should be doing what -

If you're lurching between bliss and bewilderment -

If you don't fit the shape of what you've been told a mother should be - 

Reach for The Unfamiliar and don't let go. 

Moving and immersive, and written with wisdom, disarming humour and raw honesty, The Unfamiliar casts a fresh eye on motherhood and challenges our assumptions about pregnancy, gender roles, queer identity and what it means to be a parent.

Beautiful, raw parenthood memoir

I enjoyed this memoir read by the author, it’s great to listen to because the way is written (using the second person) and I enjoyed it immensely.
