La feina d'una vida

Rachel Cusk recounts in these pages her first experiences as a mother and reflects with unusual frankness on what this stage means: a goodbye to freedom, sleep and time, a journey to the roots of love and a hard lesson in humility. The author brilliantly analyzes essential issues related to pregnancy and motherhood, from the ambivalences and contradictory feelings that mothers develop to the traps contained in the majority discourse around that period, also going through the social infantilization of pregnant women and mothers. first-time babies or the loneliness of the puerperium.
