Description
Vintage Minis bring you the world's greatest writers on the experiences that make us human - from birth to death and everything in between.
Enjoy Helen Simpson's sharply funny, humane take on the everyday joys and struggles of Motherhood in this perfect Mother's Day gift.
Welcome to motherhood - a land of aching fatigue, constant self-sacrifice and thankless servitude, a land of bottomless devotion, small hands and feet like warm pink roses, and velvet kisses. Here is a land where men and women, once carefree and engrossed in work and sex, now try to solve age-old arguments and search fruitlessly for another hour in the day. Perhaps you know this land well, or perhaps you're entering it for the first time - either way, you need these honest, funny, humane stories from an expert guide.
Selected from Helen Simpson's short story collections Dear George, Hey Yeah Right Get a Life, and Constitutional.
