Natalia Fiedorczuk's literary debut is a introspective narrative telling the stories of many women who have experienced a crisis associated with childbirth. Do we have the right to treat this otherwise joyful event as a crisis? Motherhood is not just a loss of freedom, of a pre-pregnancy body, and time for hobbies. It is a sudden avalanche of responsibility. It is a change that is difficult to describe beyond the casual "you will see when you have your own". One can escape into perfectionism and chastise those mothers whose standards are not so rigid. Or, in the face of this change, one can sink deeper into oneself.
In a mesmerizing and raw story, Natalia Fiedorczuk brings to light questions about parenthood that we are not willing or brave enough to ask ourselves. Are there better and worse mothers? Who decides that? However, this book is not just a story about becoming a parent, it is also a portrait of the environment: a portrait of Poland, its suburbs, as well as the everyday work and responsibilities that come with adulthood. Responsibilities that are so mundane and tiresome that we tend to overlook and trivialize them.
