In store now! Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel

Booker Prize International Longlist

Guadalupe Nettel's fourth novel explores one of life's most consequential decisions - whether or not to have children - with her signature charm and intelligence. Alina and Laura are independent and career-driven women in their mid-thirties, neither of whom have built their future around the prospect of a family. Laura has taken the drastic decision to be sterilised, but as time goes by Alina becomes drawn to the idea of becoming a mother. A clear evocation of the arguments for and against having children, told with Nettel’s trademark wit, rawness, and energy.
