In this moving and sharply observed story of love, loss and finding laughter in life's most trying moments, Barbara Nuddle discovers that she may be infertile. After years of struggling to come to terms with the sudden death of her parents in a hotel fire, she now faces the prospect of being unable to create a family of her own. Nuddle uses her nearly four-year attempt to conceive as a vehicle to tell stories about her relationships with her mother, men, and well-meaning friends, and the challenges of an interfaith marriage. With unflinching honesty and acerbic wit, Nuddle takes us on her search for self, all while enduring the best-and worst-of what reproductive medicine has to offer.
