Motherhood

Welcome to motherhood a land of aching fatigue, constant self-sacrifice and thankless servitude, a land of bottomless devotion, small hands and feet like warm pink roses, and velvet kisses. Here is a land where men and women, once carefree and engrossed in work and sex, now try to solve age-old arguments and search fruitlessly for another hour in the day. Perhaps you know this land well, or perhaps you’re entering it for the first time either way, you need these honest, sharply funny, humane stories from an expert guide.Selected from Helen Simpson’s short story collections Dear George, Hey Yeah Right Get a Life and Constitutional
