Description
In this radical and unflinchingly honest novel, a new mother named Anna finds herself adrift in the unfamiliar landscape of Stockholm, grappling with overwhelming anxiety and the profound disorientation that follows childbirth. As she navigates the challenges of her new reality, Anna compulsively consumes online news and online shopping, seeking solace while battling the encroaching darkness of depression. Driven by a fierce need to reclaim herself, she turns to the solace of reading and writing, weaving together fiction, essay, poetry, memoir, and letters. This powerful work delves into the complex interplay between motherhood, individuality, and the transformative act of creation, exploring the essential work of both raising a child and crafting a life.
