A Field Guide to the Moods of Motherhood

A Field Guide to the Moods of Motherhood

Sixteen species, observed in the wild

Sixteen species of mother, observed in the wild.

A deadpan naturalist's guide to the moods every mother lives in, from the Three A.M. Ruminator in the nursery to the Resurgent Self in the emptying nest. Each is drawn as an engraved specimen plate and described, perfectly straight-faced, in the field.

You will recognise more than a few from the inside. None of them is permanent, and every one of them is doing precisely what love does when it is tired.
