Book
Still born / by Guadalupe Nettel ; translated by Rosalind Harvey.
Alina and Laura are independent and career-driven women in their mid-thirties; neither have guilt their future around the prospect of a family. Laura is so determined not to become a mother that she has had her tubes tied. But when she announces this to her friend, she learns that Alina has made the opposite decision and is preparing to have a child. Alina's pregnancy shakes the women's lives, first creating distance and then a remarkable closeness between them. When Alina's daughter survives childbirth--after a diagnosis that predicted the opposite--and Laura becomes attached to her neighbor's son, both women are forced to reckon with the complexity of their emotions, their needs, and the needs of the people who are dependent upon them. -- Provided by publisher.
