'This is a moving, involving account of a woman's fertility quest, and an inventive, carefully structured verse novel. The reader is drawn in to an emotional and physical ordeal across years of trying, miscarriage, and ultimately the gruelling IVF process. It voices an experience not often represented so thoroughly in literature - a lonely journey made more challenging by taboos, ignorance and prejudices.' Melinda Smith
