Motherhood: A Ghost Story - Paperback

Anna Brook's Motherhood: A Ghost Story is an unguarded, lyrical excavation of the thresholds between presence and absence, memory and immediacy, selfhood and care. Rendered in the space between poetry and prose, Brook traces the spectral nature of early motherhood: how the body is unmade and remade, how time dissolves and reforms, and how past and present flicker in and out of alignment. Layered with literary echoes and visceral sensory detail, this work defies easy categorisation, existing in the liminal space between memoir, poetry, and philosophical meditation.
