Book description
LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION - From the acclaimed author of Losing Eden ("Powerful, beautifully written"--Anthony Doerr) an important, moving, passionate and passionately written inquiry--personal and scientific--into what happens--mentally, spiritually, physically, during the process of becoming a mother, from pregnancy and childbirth to early motherhood and what this profound process tells us about the way we live now. "I read your book, or more accurately devoured it! Loved it . . . It will be the new classic text in Motherhood Studies." -Andrea O'Reilly, founder, Motherhood Studies "The best book I've ever read about motherhood. Matrescence is essential reading, bloody and alive, roaring and ready to change conversations." -Jude Rogers, The Observer (UK) In this important and ground-breaking, deeply personal investigation, Jones writes of the emerging concept of "matrescence" - the wholeness of becoming a mother. Drawing on her own experiences of twice becoming a mother, as well as exploring the latest research in the fields of neuroscience and evolutionary biology; psychoanalysis and existential therapy; sociology, economics and ecology, Jones writes of the physical and emotional changes in the maternal mind, body, and spirit and shows us how these changes are far more profound, wild, and enduring than have been previously explored or written about. Part memoir, part scientific and health reporting, part social critique, ecological philosophy, eco-feminism and nature writing, Matrescence is a kind of whodunnit, ferreting out with the most nuanced, searing and honest observations, why mothers throughout this heightened transition are at a breaking point, and what the institution of intensive, isolated motherhood can tell us about our still-dominant social and cultural myths. "Jones seems to come as close as it's possible to describing this indescribable moment in a woman's life." -Joanna Pocock, The Spectator (UK)
