A review by lclarotto
Motherhood by Sheila Heti
3.0
The writing in this book is excellent; it has been a long time since I’ve highlighted so many phrases and paragraphs for their ability to convey emotion and succinctly summarize complex feelings. For that reason, I enjoyed this book, and appreciate the nuance with which the author approaches such a complex, emotionally-charged, and deeply personal subject.
That being said, I felt like plot-wise it just didn’t do it for me. It didn’t draw me in, and didn’t provide satisfaction in many ways. I’d still recommend it to everyone for its discussions about childbirth, since it does it in a way I’ve never encountered before, but I felt a bit disappointed in the end.
