    What a delightful book. Get through the first five chapters before deciding if you want to keep reading or not - it's a bit of a slow start but fully necessary for the rest of the story.

    Thoughts from 23% (page 17)

    "When the mother nurses her child, the boundary of the individual self becomes permeable and the common good is the only one that matters."

    This got me thinking that maybe the system we live in today is the reason a lot of us don't want to be mothers. We have created a greedy, individualist system of life that our bodies are always in a state of stress and survival that a lot of us women can't imagine sacrificing our bodies and our mental health for that child. Maybe if we lived in a kinder system, the choice to have a kid would be a lot easier.
