Galchen does something more profound than tackle motherhood; she utterly reinvents and reanimates the subject.--Christopher Bollen "Interview Magazine"

Witty and delightfully intelligent.--Carolyn Kellogg "Los Angeles Times"

A quietly revolutionary little book.-- "The Millions"

Everything one could possibly need is dispensed via dense, tiny, mysterious pellets--a fortified shot of literary enrichment we didn't even know we needed, but that now feels vital and enthralling.-- "The New Republic"

A highly original book: I adore Galchen's quiet and bravery. I am confident that many mothers (and other sleepless readers) will pick up this book and feel that they have found an unexpectedly intimate friend.-- "The New York Times Book Review"

Not your mother's motherhood lit. Brief, gemlike reflections on adjusting to life under the rule of a baby daughter (called 'the puma'): it's a book that will ring both familiar and strange.-- "NPR (Best Books of the Year)"
