Rounds of IVF treatments and several years later, she has two daughters and sits down to write this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorld's Best Mother\u003c\/i\u003e is a sublime journey through pregnancy, the mothering of small children, marriage, and an affair, which unfolds in a heady mix of anecdote, imagination, and social commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClever and insightful, the narrator examines the myth, but also the scam, of motherhood, openly dialoguing with voices of the past that in one way or another have fuelled her condition as a woman: from the legendary hominid Lucy—'the mother of humanity'—to Cinderella, passing through Plato, Mother Teresa, Darwin, Maupassant, and Simone de Beauvoir along the way. Humour, love, and horror converge in this lively auto-fictional battle between the intensity of child rearing and the writer trying to fight her way out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608397299948,"sku":"9781642860726","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781642860726-world-s-best-mother.jpg?v=1778198200","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/worlds-best-mother-by-nuria-labari-9781642860726","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
