【懷孕‧生產與流產:那些女人們共有的、傷痛的與期盼的】 ✰ 紐約時報、柯克思書評推薦! 懷孕第12週,安娜與離她好幾個州之遠的妹妹瑪歌通電話,意外得知妹妹第二個孩子沒能順利生產,流掉了。 彷彿受到妹妹的情緒感染,正在懷孕的安娜心中升起一股複雜的情緒,她思考著成為人母的意義,以及面對有可能失去孩子的陰影。 接著,安娜在她的生活裡遇見了不同的女人,來自美國各處,她們有些想要孩子卻始終不孕;有的是孩子意外夭折; 有的懷抱內疚選擇墮胎;有的和她妹妹一樣,尚未出世的生命在母體裡就先殞落... Anna Hogeland描寫在小說裡較少被深入思索的議題,面對失去本來可以誕生的生命,身為母親─女人的心境,參雜悲傷、憤怒、自責與痛苦,同時又充滿希望。 Twelve weeks pregnant for the first time, Anna speaks to her sister on the other side of the country and learns she has just miscarried her second child. As this loss strains their bond, and complications with Anna's own pregnancy emerge, her tenuous steps towards motherhood are shadowed and illuminated by the women she meets along the way, whose stories of the babies they have had, or longed for, or lost, crowd in.
