Babies

Babies: our biggest mystery and our most natural consequence, our hardest test and our enduring love.

Anne Enright describes the intensity, bewilderment and extravagant happiness of her experience of having babies, from the exhaustion of early pregnancy to first smiles and becoming acquainted with the long reaches of the night.

Everyone, from parents to the mildly curious, can delight in Enright’s funny, eloquent and unsentimental account of having babies.
