This debut novel intrigues with an element of surprise that keeps the reader captivated until the very last page-a story about whether you can truly be fulfilled as a woman without being a mother. When Georgia peach Lil (pronounced Lille, France) embarks upon a campaign to have a child, she expects her most formidable opponent to be her biological clock. After all she is 39, her childless aunt, Mamie Lee, reminds her. Nonetheless, when Aunt Mamie dies suddenly, Lil finds herself up against a cadre of obstacles, including a battle with her aunt's stepson over the family's land and a relationship with a congressman who doesn't want more children and possibly can't have them anyhow. She also faces a major crisis at her high-powered job. The most unsettling of all her adversaries, however, turns out to be her own mind, filled with conventional notions about this illusive tie in between motherhood and womanhood. An emotionally captivating story, told with skilful pacing that makes it hard to put down. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

After the death of her mother, Aunt Mamie, her father's sister, was the closest thing Lil had to a mother. On Aunt Mamie’s deathbed she asks Lil to do two things: have a baby and keep her home. Lil desperately wants to honor Aunt Mamie Lee's memory. Unfortunately, at 39, having a baby is somewhat of a struggle. Then with Will, Aunt Mamie's step-son, fighting her tooth and nail, Lil is feeling as if she won't be able to succeed.
With so much drama at work, her personal life and fighting back and forth with Will, can Lil handle things?
Sonja Lewis has written a good book with a lot of twist and turns. "The Barrenness" will keep you turning the page for more. I hope there is sequel available soon that will continue the story of Lil and Danny.
