THE MOTHER'S GUIDE TO THE MEANING OF LIFE is the third in a series of books designed to find the extraordinary in the everyday. Here author Amy Krouse Rosenthal explores the joys and pitfalls of parenting in a way that mothers everywhere will recognise and appreciate. Rosenthal offers a series of essays, anecdotes, vignettes and asides, and she explores the universal themes of motherhood, from guilt and inadequacy to joy and magic to the astonishing sense of self-discovery that comes with being a mother. With wit, understanding and hilarity, Rosenthal covers everything from "What I've Learned About Patience" to a mother's occasional, secret fantasy to run away from it all. Her fresh humour taps into the minutiae of everyday life with "that-is-so-true" insight and sets itself apart with its smart, witty and delightfully quirky nature.
