Once you’ve got the three characters and their relationship firmly established, it’s addictive and highly satisfying. Living on the edge of a common in East London, their shared world is ablaze with art and activism, romance and revelry - and the promise of everything to come. It wasn’t as though the topics and themes were inventive - but the writing was so seamless-readable - engaging - and real.

The mother who feels everyone else has motherhood down pat exceptt for her, the woman who feels it will complete her and has no backup plan , the woman without any solidly defined boundaries of her life. And a lot of us, unfortunately, discover that ‘forever’ is a lot shorter than what we thought it would be.Here I'll take a look at various topics, from books to BPD, series to self-harm, there's nothing that we can't, and shouldn't, talk about. Lissas Leben verläuft hingegen in ganz anderen Bahnen - sie ist Schauspielerin und steht endlich vor ihrem Durchbruch auf der Theaterbühne. At the very beginning of the book, she is introduced as the one who stays out late and wakes up hungover. The woman speaks about the tomb, about how it was found on her father’s land, a mile or so from where she and her family live today. It promises to explore female friendship, but is yet another story of women who don't really have each others' backs; all of them screw the rest over at one time or another.

Expectation by Anna Hope review – intelligent and humane

And their children talk, too - they know each other well, it is clear; they tell Lissa about a holiday they all took last summer to France. The three women used to be very good friends but now, due to several reasons, they have kind of drifted apart a little bit and nothing is how it used to be when they were younger. Nathan reached a breaking point and told Hannah that he loved her but he just couldn’t do the IVF treatments any longer.

She appears to have a freedom that the other two do not, but in that freedom-no partner, no children, no roots-she drifts endlessly in hope of making her mother, Sarah, proud. This is a book with two themes: babies (having them, not having them, difficulty having them) and the tension between motherhood and career. There are also a few chapters interspersed throughout the book that tell how they all met, and memories from when they were younger.
