crabbygirl reviewed Making Babies by Anne Enright
Review of 'Making Babies' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
i wanted read more by this author after i discovered her dense irish prose - and many of the essays here were cerebral. but some were closer to the fluff you see in national parenting magazines...
she really did see the birth of her motherhood as a death to her self, and maybe i felt a bit of that underneath the post partum depression. but it's been so long for me, and cannot remember life pre-children. i imagine the cerebral stuff came out of her journal from that time, and the generic i-love-my-baby stuff came with the mommy mush brain that overtakes you and sometimes never goes away.
