Motherhood is a novel, which, simply by existing, questions the form of the novel itself and the role of women. If we reduced it into a few thoughts, we could say that it is a deliberation about having children or not - are children still a necessity or have they become a sentimental gesture? This work, however, is much more than this. It is stretched between theory, life and fiction and it deals with basic questions about living, surviving, ourselves and our purpose. This is a philosophical novel that hides behind banalities from time to time, then strikes with a full force. A must-read for anyone who is considering (not) having children and also for those who have already decided but their lives still don’t seem to be any easier.

Sheila Heti (1976) became the most hailed among critics and readers with her works How Should a Person Be and Women in Clothes. Her latest work, Motherhood was named Best Novel of 2018 by the New York magazine and it also landed on the list of best books in The New York Times, Times Literary Supplement, The Chicago Tribune, Rafinery 29, Bookforum and others. The critics were amazed by her and just one year after publishing, she has reached a cult status both in the literary as well as theoretical field.
