About this book
After the birth of her first child, Elif Shafak experiences depression that separates her from writing fiction, the activity around which she had built her identity. She represents her conflicting inner selves as six tiny women who must learn to coexist. The memoir connects motherhood and creative life with the difficult process of recognizing and accepting her own competing needs.
