One Life by Rebecca Frayn
Rose and Johnny are a modern couple, a career couple. They've found themselves in their thirties with their London flat, their urban family, their confidence in their choices. But suddenly - unexpectedly - Johnny's desire for commitment and a child brings them to an abrupt and painful crossroads. To save their relationship Rose, an ambitious photographer still struggling for recognition, reluctantly concedes - only to discover that achieving parenthood is far harder than either of them had bargained on. In the struggle to conceive Rose finds herself propelled on a roller coaster ride; an obsessive quest through the emotional and ethical minefield of IVF treatment - until finally she is driven to far more desperate and unconventional measures to become the mother she so desperately wants to be. Unflinchingly honest, One Life is a heart-stoppingly poignant and compelling exploration of womanhood and its most basic compulsion; the desire for children.
