Just finished Wounding by Heidi James. Holy Mother of God, it rocks your world. This is a book about motherhood to end all books! Shaking at the end like you wouldn't believe, so unsettling on an everyday level. Literally did end up wounding myself as scrapped hand on the locker at the gym after I'd finished. Life mimicking art!

This is such a book for Mumsnet. Would love love love to hear others thoughts on such a frank book. Cora (the main character) must have PND?? We may all have flashes of what she feels...anyway I urge to read as discussion on these issues/ambiguities is so needed...

Thanks for recommendation OP, but can I ask exactly why it's like 50 Shades please?

I heard about this book on twitter… looked it up, its got great reviews. At last a book that discusses motherhood and ambivalence - I can't be the only one who feels like this! Can't wait to read it, ordered it today. Looking forward to discussing more.
