Después de la tormenta

The writer and screenwriter Emma Jane Unsworth jumps into non-fiction with a book that is part testimony and part denunciation of the expectations and demands imposed by modern motherhood. With courage, humor and honesty, the novelist recounts the complicated birth of her son, the postpartum depression that was about to end her and her marriage and why the myth that women can handle everything is against us. getting sick In her case, nothing -neither the pregnancy, nor the childbirth, nor motherhood- turned out as she expected. Six years after the birth of her first child, she finally realized that all the rage, rage, and dark thoughts she was experiencing were actually symptoms of postpartum depression. After the Storm is the story -vital, hilarious, sweeping- of her journey to recovery, but also the fruit of her research into the immense changes that the female brain undergoes during pregnancy and childbearing.
