Bed Rest

Bed Rest

by SarahBilston (Author)

Synopsis

In this humorous and touching debut, Sarah Bilston examines what happens to a first-time mother who becomes imprisoned in her flat due to prenatal complications. Q is a young English lawyer married to an American and living in New York. She's ticked off most of the boxes on her list of Things To Do Before I'm Thirty and her life so far has been relatively painless. But when her doctor tells her she must spend the last three months of her pregnancy lying in bed, Q is thrown into a tailspin - her social life must stop and the inertia that follows plunges her relationship with her friends, family and husband into chaos.

Media Reviews
'Sarah Bilston has written a very clear-sighted novel about how tough it is for women to juggle career, marriage and childbirth - I laughed out loud and I couldn't put it down' Marian Keyes ** 'Even if you've never been pregnant you'll be as instantly hooked on this addictive novel as I was. While most of us dream of days on end in bed with nothing to do but eat and watch television, Q shows us the true nature of being a caged animal ' Plum Sykes, author of BERGDORF BLONDES
