Bücher von Beth Ann Fennelly

Beth Ann Fennelly, writing to a newly pregnant friend, goes beyond the nuts and bolts or sentimentality of other parenting literature, in letters that range in tone from serious to sisterly, from lighthearted to downright funny. Some answer specific questions; others muse about the identity shift a woman encounters when she enters Mommyland. This book invites all mothers to join the grand circle of giving and receiving advice about children.

"With its high spirits, its love of textures of different kinds of writing . . . [this] is an immensely lively performance." -Robert Hass

A fearless delineation of the joys, absorptions, and-yes-jealousies of new motherhood.
