Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel

Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel

Laura and Alina agree in their thirties that neither will have children. Laura has herself sterilised. Alina changes her mind, and then her daughter is diagnosed in the womb with a condition that means she will not survive birth — and then she does.

Nettel writes the two lives in parallel, adding a neighbour whose small son is disturbing and a woman upstairs coming apart, and refuses every available conclusion about motherhood. The subject is not whether to have children but the fact that love and obligation attach themselves to people regardless of what they decided.

Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. Short, cool and unsettling.
