Moving and immersive, and written with wisdom, disarming humour and raw honesty, The Unfamiliar casts a fresh eye on motherhood and challenges our assumptions about pregnancy, gender roles, queer identity and what it means to be a parent.''Cold, hard, raw writing that somehow sets your heart on fire'' LAURA DOCKRILL''Fierce, honest, beautifully written... A marvel'' PRAGYA AGARWAL''Kirsty Logan writes with bright wit and wonder - I read this book in awe'' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA''Wonderful...
