"Achingly wise . . . Admirers of Marilynne Robinson will find themselves very much at home in this book." --Wall Street Journal
Jessica Speight, an anthropologist in 1960s London, is at the beginning of a promising academic career when an affair leaves her a single mother. Anna is delightful--a pure gold baby. But as it becomes clear that Anna is not a normal child, the book circles questions of responsibility, potential, even age, with Margaret Drabble's characteristic intelligence and wit. Told from the point of view of Jess's fellow mothers, The Pure Gold Baby is a movingly intimate look at the unexpected transformations at the heart of motherhood.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Houghton MifflinISBN-13:9780544228030ISBN-10:544228030UPC:9780544228030Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Literary, Women, Family LifeBook Topic:SiblingsSize:8.20 x 5.40 x 0.90 inchesWeight:0.5512Product ID:SCJSR61MFP
