Let me start off by saying I am NOT the demographic for this novel. (hence the lower rating but do not let that deter you)
A slightly autobiographical novel about motherhood, what it means to be a mother and finding identity. As someone who plans to never become a mother this book obviously wasn't for me, however I can appreciate the writing that cusk puts forth, it is flowery and sharp, there are antidotes within some of the chapters that are dark yet refreshingly honest. Cusk captures her experience of motherhood in her traditional vibrant writing style.
