MOTHERHOOD by Sheila Heti is a contemplation on what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a lover, an artist, and in essence, a woman.
The unnamed narrator shares with us her thought process through her final child-bearing years. She explores the idea of destiny versus fate: do we choose what happens to us or is it predetermined? And if we can choose, where do our desires come from? How can we know whether they are really ours, or if they belong to someone else? If you are a woman, or someone who has questioned which path to take in life, this book is for you.
Heti’s curious and philosophical mind lends itself to an interesting journey through one of the biggest decisions a person could make in their life.
