A quote review: "The problem is that life is long, and so much happens by accident, and choices made in a single week can affect an entire lifetime, and the decider within us is not always under our control. So as much as I can't see having a child, it's strange to imagine I actually won't. Yet the not-having seems just as amazing, unlikely and special as the having. Both feel like a kind of miracle. Both seem like a great feat. To go along with what nature demands and to resist it – both are really beautiful – impressive and difficult in their own ways. To battle nature and to submit nature, both feel very worthy. They both seem entirely valuable."
