 Breasts and Eggs

Published Year: 2008

Page count : 398 pages

Medium used : Kindle PW 

Genre : Contemporary, Female Body, Artificial Insemination, 2024-read. 

Rating : 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐



The main character is a novelist. She lost her aunt and mother to cancer when she was in her early twenties. She decides to have a child through artificial insemination because she has issues getting intimate with men. This is her experience and story of how she becomes a successful mother finally after attempting multiple times to get pregnant. 


I felt the prose is very good. I have come to learn a lot about the issues and concerns that handicap many women. I thought she shed a lot of light on the different aspects of the industry of artificial insemination and how children born that way feel and react when they learn the truth behind their birth. 

Do check it out !
