'Exquisite... a deeply insightful memoir which charts our
fundamental longings for place and identity, and ultimately our
yearnings for love.' Helena Kennedy 'Extremely moving...an
unusually thoughtful take on becoming a mother, enabled by removing
babyhood and biology.' Guardian How to find an outlet for a love
that demands expression? Single, in her mid-forties and having
experienced a sudden early menopause, the realisation comes to
Peggy quietly, and clearly, she decides to adopt a child. But the
preparation is arduous and the scrutiny intense. There are
questions about past lives, about capability and expectations.
Asking big questions about identity and belonging, as well as about
what makes a mother - and a home - this is a beautiful meditation
on how the legacies of childhood might be overcome by a mother's
determination to love. 'A remarkable book...wise and arresting'
Sarah Winman
