Don't Forget to Scream by Marianne Levy

'Every person - parent or not - ought to read this . . . beautifully written and searingly honest'
i

Like grief or falling in love, becoming a mother is an experience both ordinary and transformative - one that not only turns your world upside-down, but your inner self, too.

In this frank, funny and fearless memoir, Marianne Levy writes with heart-wrenching honesty about love and loss, rage and pain, fear and joy. She breaks the silence around the emotional turmoil of raising a child and asks why motherhood is at once so venerated and so undervalued.

Here is the real story of being a mother in the modern world, voicing the unspoken truths that everyone needs to hear.

'I've never read a book about motherhood that captures so perfectly the impossible complexity of it all . . . genius'
