Mamamorphosis
When Renske becomes pregnant she feels like a sorcerer’s apprentice: something big has been set in motion and the outcome is entirely unpredictable. Nevertheless she is confident her body will do what it has to – nature will take its course, or something of the sort. She pictures herself lying on a picknick blanket under a tree with a rosy-cheeked baby, because if she’s completely honest, that’s her idea of family life.

I’m deeply impressed. So beautifully and movingly drawn and written. A fantastic book.’
Paulien Cornelisse, writer
‘Mamamorphosis brings the humour and doubts of motherhood into focus […] and the fact of being torn between laughter and tears. In the passage about the birth her talent not just for jokes but also for writing becomes clear.’
