Description
I began to pull the threads of my experience back together. Instead of divergent stories about public failure, private torment, and postnatal distress, I started telling myself a united story: the truth, or as close as I could get to it.
A Rhodes scholar and former Green MP, Holly Walker tells the story of how she became one of New Zealand's youngest parliamentarians, how motherhood intervened, and how she found solace and solidarity in the writings of women.
This short book makes a passionate case for the role of literature in political change and personal resilience, and for the importance of women's voices in the public sphere.
The Whole Intimate Mess is a poignant exploration of personal struggle and a testament to the enduring influence of literature and female empowerment.
