When Will I Sleep Through the Night

When Will I Sleep Through the Night

by EleanorBirne (Author)

Synopsis

You are having a baby. How do you feel? Excited? Nervous? Downright terrified? For most people, even if it is something they have longed for, having a baby is a voyage into the great unknown, a turning point after which their lives will never be the same again. When Will I Sleep Through the Night? is a beautifully written account of one woman's experience of pregnancy and the first year of her child's life. Written in diary-style entries, it is a record of the day-to-day reality of having a baby and a portrait of the frustration, fear and overwhelming love that come with it. By turns funny, moving and reassuring, this is a book that doesn't try to tell you what to do or what to feel but simply tells it as it is, a story that is both intimate and universal, an A-Z of babyhood.

Media Reviews
A sweet, lovely, funny book that perfectly captures the brainbending madness of the first year. -- Pre-publication endorsement * Marcus Berkmann *
A lucid, humorous and, above all, completely unhectoring account of becoming a mother... I found it hard to put down... I would advise mothers-to-be to save it until they, too, reach the end of the first year and can smile in delighted recognition. -- Alice O'Keeffe * Observer *
Refreshingly honest... it's important to have accounts like this available to read... It's nice to know you're not alone * Bookbag *
Honest and frank... This book is part funny, part moving and wholly reassuring... it crafts a story that is both intimate and universal. -- Franziska Hensel * Irish Tatler *
What sets this apart is the quality of the... this manages to perfectly capture the excitement, nervousness and tedium of those early months... fun and accessible. -- Kelly Beswick * Junior *
