Second Thoughts by Lynn Berger
'Beautifully written, deeply humane, a gem of a book' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind: A Hopeful History While every parent knows more of what to expect the next time round, the birth of a second child is no less momentous. Family relationships multiply, birth-order myths hover and sibling rivalry and parental exhaustion threaten. Yet the potential for joy and love within the family also expands, as if by magic. This new literary talent shines a tender insight on a forgotten subject: what it is to parent for the second time and what it is to forever be a younger child.
'Beautifully written, deeply humane, a gem of a book' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind: A Hopeful History and Utopia for Realists 'Fresh, intricate, daring and often wise.' Susie Boyt, author of Love and Fame 'A subtle and captivating tour of a topic we've strangely overlooked.' Sarah Knott, author of Mother: An Unconventional History 'Gorgeous ... Berger's thoughtful inquiry eloquently illuminates the complexities of second-time parenthood.' Publishers Weekly
