A Life's Work: On Becoming a Mother

Voorkant
Fourth Estate, 2001 - 212 pagina's
Mothers are the countries we come from: sometimes when I hold my daughter I try to apprehend this belonging for her, to feel myself as solid and fixed, to capture my smell and shape and atmosphere. I try to flesh out her native landscape. I try to imagine what it would be like to have me as a mother.
