Description
In this intimate and visceral novel, an unnamed narrator, consumed by the overwhelming reality of new motherhood, recounts the early years of her son's life. Speaking to her sleeping child, Sailor, she unpacks the profound transformation that parenthood brings, exploring the intense bond and the immense responsibility that reshapes her world. This is a piercing exploration of identity, love, and the seismic shift that occurs when a woman sheds her old life to embrace the all-encompassing role of a mother. Kilroy masterfully captures the raw, often unarticulated, experience of this life-altering journey.
