Description
An unflinching literary novel exploring themes of womanhood, infertility and PCOS, immigration and complex family dynamics. For fans of Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney, Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami, and Starling Days by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan.
"What matters more, your place as a daughter or as a mother?"
Androulla is twenty-four and newly married when she learns that she is infertile. In a bid for Cypriot citizenship she is undergoing adoption by her stepfather, and wondering if she will have to adopt a child one day herself.
As this reality sets in, Androulla's marriage unravels. Between migration departments and doctors' appointments, she must question what it means to be from somewhere, what it means to be a woman and, when an impossible choice presents itself, which of those things means the most to her.
