Book 20 #clairekilroy #soldiersailor A stream of consciousness memoir from mother to son as she recounts her deepest love and darkest moments of early motherhood This exquisite, unreliable narrator captures the exhausted mind perfectly. Darkly funny, raw and relentless. Loved.
I’ve only read two chapters of #SoldierSailor by #ClaireKilroy & even if it wasn’t awakening profound emotions that I thought I’d processed, I would love it for this paragraph alone -
This book! I don't think I've ever read such a incisive depiction of motherhood. Just astounding writing. #motherhood #clairekilroy
The trials & tribulations of early motherhood; raw, infused with dark humor, & astutely depicted. It was tough to read in parts even for someone without children, but the narrative of a woman living in a man’s world rang true throughout. Brilliant.

CHRIST this book is good - but far from an easy read. A no holds barred, visceral depiction of all-consuming, early motherhood. Wow. #soldiersailor #clairekilroy

#SoldierSailor #ClaireKilroy
A deep dive into the trenches of motherhood which made me laugh, wince, & recognise why it might be for the best that I never managed to have children. Stunning & visceral.
