The Life of the Mind - Christine Smallwood
Unravelling females unite - this is a beautiful, witty book that expertly navigates the end of youth and accepting the space and body you inhabit. Dorothy is a college professor without a permanent position, she has a partner, two therapists and a fairly insensitive best friend. The book glimpses into a few weeks with Dorothy as she miscarries, tries to understand what it means if her therapist doesn’t want to include her on a podcast and bumps into an old rival at a Vegas conference. I am in awe of Christine Smallwoods handling of body and mind!
For fans of Rachel Cusk, Ottessa Moshfegh & existential crises.
