I must admit that I was expecting this to be a novel - it is really a collection of essays and musings by Anne Enright about her experience and feelings on becoming a mother in her late thirties. Good at evoking memories for those of us as mothers. ( ) I read this because Enright is such a beautiful writer; here she writes wonderfully but it's not beautiful, not as crafted and without the psychological depth of her novels. I liked it a lot, but was a bit disappointed - it felt almost dashed off, and the changes in tone were disconcerting: the first chapter, about aliens, didn't fit with all the baby chapters; the last chapter, about her early life, was the deepest and best-written, but it felt like a different book.
Originally published in Britain in 2004, this memoir was reportedly written in snatches while Enright’s babies slept, which turns out to be a very good thing: in these short, lucid bursts, she conveys a delicious sense of stolen time. Bite-size chapters with titles like “Milk,” “Crying” and “Burps” illuminate the darkest corners of pregnancy and early motherhood — places that are often as funny as they are hideous.
