"Original, important, moving, witty and exquisitely-written. WHAT a
feat." - BERNARDINE EVARISTO "Incredible... beautiful and funny and
humane." - EMILIE PINE "Pristine poetry and prose." KATHERINE MAY,
AUTHOR OF WINTERING "I've read a beautiful perfect book. If you are
straight or gay, read it." PHILIPPA PERRY "Babies who are this
small, he says, have a good chance of survival. Small is not good
for babies. It is not whimsical or cute or the cause of admiration.
It is the first time it occurs to us that they might not survive.
Babies die from smallness." Claire Lynch knew that having children
with her wife would be complicated but she could never have
anticipated the extent to which her life would be redrawn by the
process. This dazzling debut begins with the smallest of life's
substances, the microscopic cells subdividing in a petri dish in a
fertility treatment centre. She moves through her story in
incremental yet ever growing steps, from the fingernail-sized
pregnancy test result screen which bears two affirmative lines to
the premature arrival of her children who have to wear scale-model
oxygen masks in their life-saving incubators. Devastatingly
poignant and profoundly observant - and funny against the odds -
Claire considers whether it is our smallness that makes our lives
so big.
