Review:
'This may be the most honest book written about the tsunami of emotion that hits women when what should come most naturally - reproduction - becomes instead one vast, expensive science experiment ... Daisy is a fine meditation on what it means to live a fulfilled life' People 'Orenstein has written a memoir, a confession, a polemic and a love story all at once, describing the most frantic and confusing period of her life with clarity and candour' Los Angeles Times 'By the time I reached the end of the book, I was crying into my latte ... Orenstein's memoir is not just hers; it is the story of a generation of women who dared to wait for motherhood' More 'If any writer has the verve and tenacity to supersede the typecasting of Mommy Lit, it's Orenstein' Washington Post
