Description

A sharp, intimate novel about motherhood and the bonds that hold us together, this story follows a woman navigating the emotional and practical upheavals of pregnancy, loss, and the long aftermath that follows. As her relationships deepen and fracture—especially through friendship and the unexpected solidarity of others—she confronts what it means to be seen, to grieve, and to keep going when life refuses to follow a script. Blending personal reflection with a keen social awareness, the book explores community as both refuge and pressure, and asks how care is offered, received, and transformed. With Guadalupe Nettel’s distinctive, lyrical intelligence and unflinching honesty, the novel moves with quiet force toward a larger meditation on resilience and connection.
