Welcome To Your New Life

Welcome to Your New Life, she shares the dizzying wonder and crippling anxiety that come with creating new life. Should she indulge her craving for sausage after sixteen years of not eating meat? Will her birth plan involve Enya or hypnosis, or neither? And just how worried should she be about her baby falling into a composting toilet? This captivating memoir combines warmth and humour to reveal the love that binds families together. Welcome to Your New Life evokes the shock of plunging into a life-changing adventure and the kicking required to return to the surface. ‘This book does what great literature should: it tries to get a grip on life – the making of it, the living-and-loving it, the leaving it. ‘ Anna Funder ‘Few books have made me howl with laughter as this one has…she has an exquisite ability to recast the banal into another sphere….a deliciously subversive read.’ The Melbourne Review
