Motherhood by Helen Simpson

Motherhood by Helen Simpson

Welcome to motherhood - a land of aching fatigue, constant self-sacrifice and thankless servitude, a land of bottomless devotion, small hands and feet like warm pink roses, and velvet kisses. Selected from Helen Simpson's short story collections, this title deals with motherhood.

Helen Simpson is a writer with such a gift for sweet tenderness that one could almost overlook the glittering sharpness of the insights.. Not many writers manage to be as funny as Helen Simpson without sacrificing the honesty that her writing unmistakably has -- Philip Hensher * Mail on Sunday *
Imagine our joy when Vintage announced that it is publishing a collection of easily digestible books from the world’s most celebrated writers on the experiences that make us human… They look good and read well. That’s win/win in our book. * Stylist *

A Bunch of Fives: Selected Stories (2012) includes five stories from each of her first five collections.
