An unconventional, unexpectedly funny, brutally honest memoir about
infertility, pregnancy and motherhood 'You and your partner want a
baby. But your two bodies can't make a baby together.' If you want
a baby but your body says otherwise - If you don't know the polite
way to say thank you for the sperm - If you're waiting for the
sound of a brand-new heartbeat - If you know it takes a village to
raise a baby but have no idea who should be doing what - If you're
lurching between bliss and bewilderment - If you don't fit the
shape of what you've been told a mother should be - Reach for The
Unfamiliar and don't let go. Moving and immersive, and written with
wisdom, disarming humour and raw honesty, The Unfamiliar casts a
fresh eye on motherhood and challenges our assumptions about
pregnancy, gender roles, queer identity and what it means to be a
parent. 'Cold, hard, raw writing that somehow sets your heart on
fire' LAURA DOCKRILL 'Fierce, honest, beautifully written... A
marvel' PRAGYA AGARWAL 'Kirsty Logan writes with bright wit and
wonder - I read this book in awe' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA
'Wonderful... Luminous writing captures the uncertainty, the fear,
the sheer physicality of love' MARIANNE LEVY
