Motherhood feels as though you have woken up in Oz and everything’s in Technicolor. But you’ve also been crushed by a house.
Join us for an evening with Guardian journalist and author Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett and author Nell Frizzell, in conversation with Elizabeth Morris (creator of the Cribnotes Substack).
This will be an honest discussion about the entire joyful, overwhelming, messy experience of modern parenthood touching on topics from Nell’s book Holding the Baby and Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett’s new book The Republic of Parenthood: On Bringing Babies.

She is the author of the novel The Tyranny of Lost Things and the critically acclaimed memoir, The Year of the Cat, and the co-author of The Vagenda.
