While a page turner, this book can send you into post-partum depression faster than an actual baby. The novel follows three women through their deliveries and early motherhood, and another woman through the grieving process of the death of her ten-week old boy. It's possible that it could be a charming read for someone who has had children. I'm no authority on that. For the non-parent I would say steer clear or you could find yourself experiencing more than a little earthquake. One thing's for sure, natural birth will never be an option again.
