"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 "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.
