An unexpected gift from a great author. How do we treat the child who walks among us in a different way than most? In Margaret Drabble s hands the answer is with a depth of empathy few master. Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones
Jessica Speight, an anthropologist in 1960s London, is beginning a promising academic career when an affair leaves her a single mother. Anna is delightful a pure gold baby. But as it becomes clear that Anna is not a normal child, the book circles questions of responsibility, potential, even age, with Margaret Drabble s characteristic intelligence and wit. Told from the point of view of Jess s fellow mothers, The Pure Gold Baby is a movingly intimate look at the unexpected transformations at the heart of motherhood.
Meditative . . . I m so glad that Margaret Drabble, like her characters, just decided to keep on going. Meg Wolitzer, NPR s All Things Considered
A closely observed group portrait of female friends, a patient insight into the joys and pains of motherhood, and an image of how society has changed and how it has not. Harper s Magazine
