Raw Content

Booth, Naomi More by this author...£10.99Paperback

When Grace becomes unexpectedly pregnant, the rush of excitement and fear that she experiences is like joyriding again. Grace welcomes a partner and baby into her life, but after the euphoria of giving birth, she is overwhelmed by terrifying visions. The awesome beauty and dark history of Grace's childhood on Yorkshire moorlands resurfaces.

Learning how to mother forces Grace to revisit all her most intimate relationships - including with her own mother - and it transforms how she understands her place in the world, ushering in new forms of care that become sources of revelation. Tender, vivid and brave, raw content explores the most unsettling and taboo experiences of mothering with illuminating power.

'A stunning mix of horror and tenderness, love and despair. It's rare to see such a raw and real account of early motherhood' KIRSTY LOGAN
