This book has been life changing for me, and I don’t say that lightly. I’ve also been a mother for 30 years! So excited for the bookclub. Can you remind me where the link is please? I’m a subscriber and have lost the email with it in…😊

I’m only partway through the book, but this is the book I wanted and needed when I was becoming a mother 20 years ago.

You can find the link on this post, Lo: https://katherinemay.substack.com/p/this-month-at-the-clearing?utm_source=post-banner&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=posts-open-in-app&triedRedirect=true

I would also like to add, that, newly diagnosed as neurodiverse myself, Im beginning to see it might be a ‘superpower’ having listened to these clever thoughtful women talk 😊

Same! Diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, realising now that I am also autistic. (Plus some other brain stuff going on...)

Thank you, I found it and found the bookclub so interesting. Truly astonishing that I didn’t know the word, and have asked all my friends - all my age and ‘readers’ - and they hadn’t either

It really was so interesting. I need to get on and finish the book now! I mean, why break the habit of a lifetime and turn up to a book club (or university lecture/seminar 😬) having finished the book in question?! lol

Thank you so much Katherine and Lucy! I enjoyed your conversation so much. So much to think about. This was the book I was looking for in my mid to late 20s, when motherhood was on the horizon. I will be recommending this book to everyone!

And thank you to everyone in the chat. Some really interesting stories and perspectives.
