Read for Around the World in 52 Books Challenge 2012- Turkey.

Recommend from Postcrossing.

The majority of the book dealt with her struggle with the idea of motherhood versus her writing and she examines how other female writers dealt with it. Finally at page 177 she discovers she is pregnant. Only about 50 pages deals with her postpartum depression.
