A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
''An unadulterated delight...suffused with a sense of love and very, very funny'' Maggie O''Farrell
It''s 2004 and Anne Enright, one of Ireland''s most remarkable writers, has just had two babies: a girl and a boy.
Making Babies, is the intimate, engaging, and very funny record of the journey from early pregnancy to age two. Written in dispatches, typed with a sleeping baby in the room, it has the rush of good news - full of the mess, the glory, and the raw shock of it all.
An antidote to the high-minded, polemical ''How-to'' baby manuals, Making Babies also bears a visceral and dreamlike witness to the first years of parenthood. Anne Enright wrote the truth of it as it happened, because, for these months and years, it is impossible for a woman to lie.
