...a graceful, touching, ironically titled tale. - John Updike A new edition of her classic novel to coincide with the publication of her other works in the African Writers Series. Nnu Ego is a woman devoted to her children, giving them all her energy, all her worldly possessions, indeed, all her life to them -- with the result that she finds herself friendless and alone in middle age. This story of a young mother's struggles in 1950s Lagos is a powerful commentary on polygamy, patriarchy, and women's changing roles in urban Nigeria.

Ein Buch für alle, die überlegen, ein Kind zu bekommen, die schon eins haben, die keines wollten, die nicht wissen, was sie wollen, obwohl die Uhr tickt. In ihren späten 30ern, als die Freundinnen sich fragen, wann sie endlich Mutter werden, fragt Sheila Heti sich, ob sie es überhaupt werden will. Mal hierhin, mal dorthin gezogen von ihren Mitmenschen, ihrem Partner und den Verpflichtungen gegenüber ihren jüdischen Vorfahren, versucht sie eine weise und moralische Entscheidung zu treffen. Nachdem Philosophie, ihr Körper, Mystik und Zufall nicht geholfen haben, findet sie die Antwort viel näher bei sich. "Mutterschaft" ist mutig, tief empfunden und so originell, dass es jede Debatte über Weiblichkeit, Elternschaft und unseren Lebenssinn bereichern wird.
