Audiobook narrated by Adepero Oduye.
Short but powerful. A woman gives birth to her baby. She reflects on many aspects of her life and the reality of being a black woman and black mother in the modern day.
- There are layers and layers of thought, feeling and reflection in just over an hour of book. So many subjects are looked at fleetingly but intently: the duplicity of parenthood, men's knowledge of how female bodies work, relationship changes and expectations, family changes and upheaval, pregnancy and its strains, pains, joys and worries.
- As a mother, this resonated with me. Birthing a baby is more than just the physiological process and everything about your life will affect how you manage, feel about and approach aspects of bringing life.
Short and reflective. Would be great for readers looking for books that make you think.
