After a decade of yearning for parenthood, years marked by miscarriage after miscarriage, Hala Alyan makes the decision to use a surrogate. In this charged time, she turns to the archetype of the waiting woman - the Scheherazade who tells stories to ensure another dawn - to confront her own narratives of motherhood, love and inheritance. As her baby grows in the body of another woman, in another country, Hala finds her own life unravelling. This book is a stunningly lyrical and brutally honest quest for motherhood, selfhood and peoplehood.
