It's hard to do justice to its complexity. This is less a book than a tapestry-a finely wrought work of delicate art.\" -The Guardian From the author of How Should a Person Be? comes a daring novel about whether or not to have children. In Motherhood, Sheila Heti asks what is gained and what is lost when a woman becomes a mother, treating the most consequential decision of early adulthood with the candor, originality, and humor that have won Heti international acclaim and made How Should A Person Be? required reading for a generation. In her late thirties, when her friends are asking when they will become mothers, the narrator of Heti's intimate and urgent novel considers whether she will do so at all. In a narrative spanning several years, casting among the influence of her peers, partner, and her duties to her forbearers, she struggles to make a wise and moral choice. After seeking guidance from philosophy, her body, mysticism, and chance, she discovers her answer much closer to home. Motherhood is a courageous, keenly felt, and starkly original novel that will surely spark lively conversations about womanhood, parenthood, and about how-and for whom-to live.","brand":"Henry Holt \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Used - acceptable","offer_id":53423439544662,"sku":"9781250214782-B","price":14.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53949090758998,"sku":"9781250214782-V","price":14.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/heti-sheila-motherhood-9781250214782","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
