Anne Enright

Broschiertes Buch

Making Babies

Beschreibung

Presents a funny record of the journey from early pregnancy to age two. Written in dispatches, typed with a sleeping baby in the room, the author has the rush of good news - full of the mess, the glory, and the raw shock of it all. She also bears a visceral and dreamlike witness to the first years of parenthood.
