World's Best Mother adds a uniquely European perspective to the literary canon on motherhood. Perfect for readers of Rachel Cusk'sA Life's Work: On Becoming a Mother, Jenny Offill'sDept. of Speculation, and Sheila Heti'sMotherhood. "A slyly funny and strikingly astute meditation on love in all its guises by a self-proclaimed 'amateur mother.'" --JENNY OFFILL, bestselling author ofWeather and Dept. of Speculation A thirty-five-year-old writer decides she wants to have children. Rounds of IVF treatments and several years later, she has two daughters and sits down to write this book.World's Best Mother is a sublime journey--through pregnancy, the mothering of small children, marriage, an affair--which unfolds in a heady mix of anecdote, imagination, and social commentary. Clever and insightful, the narrator examines the myth, but also the scam, of motherhood, openly dialoguing with voices of the past that in one way or another have fueled her condition as a woman: from the legendary hominid Lucy--"the mother of humanity"--to Cinderella, passing through Plato, Mother Teresa, Darwin, Maupassant, and Simone de Beauvoir along the way. Humor, love, and horror converge in this lively auto-fictional battle between the intensity of child rearing and the writer trying to fight her way out.

El resultado es un relato apabullante y siempre ambivalente sobre una experiencia definitiva donde humor, amor y horror se convierten en hilos de la misma trenza. La protagonista examina el mito (pero también el timo) de la maternidad, dialogando abiertamente con todas las voces del pasado que de una manera u otra han alimentado su condición de mujer (y en consecuencia de madre): desde la legendaria homínida Lucy, "madre de la humanidad" hasta la Cenicienta, pasando por Platón, Teresa de Jesús, Darwin, Maupassant o Simone de Beauvoir.
En esta novela donde convergen la ficción, la autobiografía y el ensayo, la protagonista trata su propia y palpitante maternidad como un cadáver al que disecciona en directo ante el inevitable estupor del lector. Una invitación abierta a todos los hombres y mujeres que se atrevan a entrar en la mente y el cuerpo de una madre.
