She went back to find where it all started - the panic attacks, the dissociation - in the early days of motherhood. When she found it difficult to read or write.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this wide-ranging collection of essays Boland moves on from the person she was and writes to understand who she is now. She swims with sharks, falls in love with a rabbit, and watches her father fight for his life. She is a newcomer in a small regional town and a mother, but what else? She writes about family and friends, life and mortality, memory and forgetting, and along the way she finds her voice again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is for anyone who has felt unmoored. It is about the unremarkable in-between, the way we try to build a home from nothing, the dirty dishes and the loads of washing. The uncertainty and the love. But written in sparkling prose with a sly and wry tone that is illuminating about the everyday as it pitches for a rich and fulfilled life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brooke Boland","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46843053015283,"sku":"9780645874587","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780645874587.jpg?v=1743102350","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/gulp-swallow-brooke-boland-9780645874587","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
