Offers a startling new vision of motherhood: wild, intimate, diverse; as contested and extraordinary as the world in which we live and the animals with which we share it.

From the author of A Honeybee Heart Has Five Openings comes a beautiful and unexpected memoir of motherhood and wildness – ‘ASTONISHING’ (Sunday Times)

‘Magnificent, utterly refreshing’ LUCY JONES, author of Matrescence
When Helen Jukes becomes pregnant, the manuals she reaches for feel hollow; the well-meaning advice of friends oddly suffocating. With her body transforming, she’s left with urgent, unanswered questions.
So she looks elsewhere. Beyond humans, and into the overlooked worlds of polar bears, bonobos, burying beetles and a host of other creatures whose ways of mothering look very different to our own.
What she finds is both unsettling and electric: an expansive reimagining of care, instinct and what it might mean to be a mother – animal and human – today
